Big crowd in the park for the Sunday long run which was impressive especially with many backing up after the State 10k only 24 hours prior.
Tommy H , Barts, Enda, C.T, and Laura were the first to start the first 6ks at 6.30 joined later by the likes of Pommy Paul, Jeet, Elle, Renee, J.C and Curl Curls new #1 ‘Allo Allo’ . The usual Sunday banter was flying around as the pace was kept more than honest as we also picked up a late running Dave Kane after about 12ks
Couldn’t believe how well the legs felt and how I was moving throughout the morning as we ticked off the ks, although they did start to struggle around the 22ks and I was happy to call it quits once I’d returned to the café with 24 done for the morning.
24ks in 1.46 average pace 4.26s
Great afternoon spent over a few beers later with Lisa & Keith and the Taffy Lad watching the ‘A League G/F, entertaining game with the QLDers taking victory.
Monday. Down to the Prince Alfred Pool (PAP) for the first swim of the winter season and good to see the return of Eloquent Julia and QLDer Dave joining regulars Coach Walker, Angus and The Champ’ Tougher pool to swim than the A.B.C and made to work far harder in just maintaining the times.
Session was 1 x 400, 4 x 200, and 8 x 100.
Sat on The Champs feet for the first 400 coming in on 6.39 and did the same for the first of the 200s. Then pushed up a spot and was made to work even harder as I sat on Angus feet for the remaining 200s coming in on 3.15 and 3.17 respectively.
Finished with the 100m efforts coming in between 1.35 -1.37 for the 8.
Great pool this one but boy it’s a tough session.
Will back up tomorrow and get out although not sure I’ll make the HuRTS session due to work so I may be forced to go solo and get it done early.
Cheers
