Spring has Sprung

Stunning morning in town that makes me think at last that Spring is here, wasn’t feeling the best and with heavy legs after a heavy workload of late I wasn’t looking forward to today’s run. Given up on finding or even asking about the BRAT /Hardmen so just cruised around for a lap before finding Sultry Sonya knocking out her 15ks. Proved a blessing as well, with the next couple of flat laps flying by in no time. Pace was pretty steady and 60 minutes later all was done for the morning with 13ks done.
Saw Pommy Birchy flying around looking as strong as ever and is focused for a big one in Melbourne, and saw an even faster Alex Rogers smashing some quick reps out – don’t think he was happy about ‘Our Wildman’ Stevie T beating him last Sunday and has taken to do some extra training to prevent a repeat in October?

Apologies to Kenny for yesterdays blog where I sold him short – said it was his first victory over partner Renee, It was in fact his 2nd after he took her at the Feb Striders race (unfortunately, he injured himself in doing it and never run since)
Confirmed bets locked in for the Striders 10k Homebush are:
Chairman Tommy H   + 4 mins to me    $20
Enda Stankard             +3.30 mins to me $20
Paul Hanley            minus -75 seconds    $20
Dave Kanser         minus  - 45 seconds   $20

Looking forward to seeing the return of Kanser – he’s been very quiet of late, but you just know he’s been banging out the ks in and around town. He’s even been spotted going later morning on Sundays to do his long runs….crafty bugger J

Also today it has been revealed that the first of the seasons A.B.C Duathlons is locked in – Thursday 23rd October has been set aside for the first head to head with Highnam / Stankard and the rest of the HuRTS team.
Let’s just hope Tom doesn’t try to bring his floaties this year.

Cheers
