HuRTS 8 x 400s at a WET Rushcutters

A big change in the weather brought plenty of rain to Sydney although it wasn't enough to stop the 'Hard-core' HuRTS group that made its way over to a wet and soggy Rushcutters for the 8x 400 & 3k tempo session.
Good team with Barts, Crossy and  'Grumpy' Chairman (Tom)who led from the front with me tagging in behind , whilst the likes of Mikey, Laura and many others taking the easier option of the 2nd group taking the extra 10 seconds on each rep.
Worked pretty hard on the first one but was surprised to see only 75 on the clock,  Held everyone after that all at the same time except the 6th and last one where i went a mere second faster. I think every ones times would have been down today with the conditions and even longer grass - i certainly felt as if i was working far harder then those times suggest.
Times for the day were; 75, 75, 75, 75, 75, 76, 75, 74
Not sure what was wrong with Tommy H today, seemed very grumpy, giving out to poor Laura,  Mikey and the team for supposedly not working hard enough whilst doing the 400s then taking Barts out whilst doing the 3k tempo that followed.

I decided prior that i wasn't going to push myself and do the 3k set, so sat it out and watched the team go around the triple loop that i had sorted.  As mentioned Bart took a tumble (or was he pushed?) but think he's OK.

Took a few pics of the team coming around the 1st turn to complete the first lap.

Lady Laura loves a photo, she almost throws herself on the camera when she sees it.

Mikey 'I'm just taking it easy' Conway, with Super Kev minus his shirt despite it being the coldest day of the year.

'Corky' Jacqueline O'Conner from Tipperary.

Jeez, It must be a slow news day - as even the 'Sweaty Sock' (Craig ) makes the blog - great effort mate :)

....and despite 'Captain Grumpy' taking Barts OUT on the first lap. Barts jumped back up and was soon back on his heels .......... that's why he is # 4 in the team after all.

Good work from all on a tough day

Cheers
