Only the 2nd day of summer officially and with temps nudging over 30 degrees again I think it’s a good indicator that it could be a long HOT summer ahead.
Rolled into town today for the 14 x 3 minute efforts (60 sec break after each) and after the 400s yesterday I was only ever going to do 12 of them despite the heat. Big crowd again and was just happy to try to see the session out working around the 3. 40 per/k mark for each, Sat not far off Mikey on the first few around the 3.37 mark and felt comfortable in doing so. Nice tail wind heading out, making the return that little bit tougher but was still making it back to the start time quicker.
Was holding the pace well but the heat was starting to tell and once I got to 10 I was pretty much done, decided then to do the last 2 at a reduced pace and sat in just behind Warrior Charlie around the 4.15 pace, and then went slightly faster for a 4.05 to finish the day.
Good set and there were some tired people upon completion of the session with a few of the boys jumping in the Harbour to cool down once all done.
A couple of ks cool down with Sharonne who I invited to the session, back up to the Art Gallery and I was toast.
May take a rest day tomorrow and even hit the pool again if these temps stay the way they are.
Many Happy returns of the day to another one of HuRTS favorites, Won’t name him – see if you can pick who it is from his early days. The clue could be in his sweater? As he has the matching beanie to with it that he still wears today even when it’s over 30 degrees J
Happy birthday mate, is that a Stoke Hat and Scarf you have on?
Who is this young man, look for the clue in the jumper, he has the matching beanie to go with it ?
Cheers
