Hottest day of the season so far to start the week and it was a perfect day to hit the pool. Unfortunately Mikey pulled rank and promised the Monday runners a bit of ‘Body Bashing’ and ‘Fisting’ at ‘Redleaf’ if they joined him for a trot that kept our usual numbers to a low.
Only Crossy, ‘The Leech’ and Champ there today and Coach Walker didn’t even leave us a set to do, so I improvised and after a warm up decided 10 x 200s were the go. After Fridays pathetic performance in the T/T I knew my place in the line today and was just going to be a case of hanging on throughout. Crossy is not as good a swimmer as he is runner but he’s no slouch either and the Leech is always pretty solid. Times varied depended on who was leading from 3.09s to 3.20s.
Buggered at the end but on a cracker of a day I was more than happy to get the session done.
Arrived early to get a few extra laps in before the boys arrived and met Lady Laura who was just jumping out after doing her 1k time trial ………….O.M.G – she told me she did 19.00 dead, Holy $h!te, I only did 18.45 on Friday and I got a bit of help by sitting on MrAce for the first 200, that means we are pretty much on the same pace and doesn’t bode well for when we do the upcoming biathlons L
Back out tomorrow with the HuRTS guys for perhaps the last of the tough sessions that sees 8 x 5 minutes on program.
Set those alarms for early in the morning and get up to watch Stoke give those daft Geordies from Newcastle a good shoeing in the English Premiership. Let’s hope so anyway – if nothing else it will make tomorrows run set seem slightly easier every time Tommy H runs past me.
Cheers
