Mother's Day Long Sunday Run

C.T, Enda, and Lady Laura were the early starters with me for the long Sunday run as we first did our little 6k loop we do before we pick up the later 7am arrivals.

 27 minutes for the 6k (average pace 4.30)

Smaller crowd today due to I presume Mother’s Day and only collected Jeet, And Kroney, But the pace picked up pretty much straight away for the first 10k loop.

Felt pretty good though and it was just one of those days were it all felt so easy (which doesn’t happen too often), Good banter for the morning with Enda and C.T going head to head, although I fear C.T has so much to learn when it comes to beating against the Irish champ.

Completed the next 10 and then a further 9 where it worked out we were doing 4.20 pace and haven’t managed that for a long time

25ks all up in 1.48 average pace for the morning 4.22s

Seems as if everyone is after some Timmy Dollars with Jeet the latest to wager a bet on the upcoming half , despite smashing me by over 3 minutes only 4 weeks back at Canberra the best he is offering me is 15 seconds (he must have attended the same betting /shark school as Enda?)

So officially it looks like this for Sunday

Tim v C.T  + 11 minutes  for 3 schooners

Tim v Enda + 7.21 minutes for $20

Tim v Jeet  + 15 seconds for $20

Tim v Kanser off Scratch for $20

Tim v Ronan  minus 4 mins for $20

I best be ready for this one and bring my ’A’ game to the table or it could be a costly race J

All talk has turned to the upcoming Churchill /Sands Cup for the S.M.H Half with teams submitted , not without controversy as you’d expect, Irish Captain is still crying out for Aussie Rich Palmer can you believe ? Whilst we called in ‘The Sculpture’ Phil Dove to help steady the ship.

Irish are favorites for this one I reckon as we are without Low, Heyden, ‘B Grade Binfield, Dicky Green, Agnew just to name a few whilst the Irish have a cast of thousands. But we will just give it our best shot and see what happens?

Monday

Swim set with Pete, Super Kev, The Champ, Kenny,  Angus and Julia good session that was 1 x 400, 2 x 300, 3 x 200 and 4 x 100s – once again felt pretty good and the session was made even more interesting when we had a relay race where I teamed up with Kenny and just got done on the post by team Walker /Champ

Angus and Super Kev were DQed when the Irish lad went too early …………typical

Big session tomorrow , the last tough one before Sunday

Cheers
