6 x 1k Reps and Big Bash

Big turnout at Rushcutters Oval on another scorcher of a day that saw the return of HuRTS Performer of the Year’ for 2014 – Quentin as well as  #2 in his household Kenny, and even Mikey was back from his 3 month holiday up in Byron Bay.
Marked out the course for the 6 x 1k reps rolling every 5 minutes and once Barts and Quentin had flown off we had a nice little 2nd group that included Razor, Hayden, Jeet, Angus, Andy and a couple of others who I still don’t know.
Despite the heat the oval was in great shape and armed with the replaced GPS watch I was feeling good and set to go. Led the first rep out and stopped the watch in 3.23 measuring slightly longer  then 1k (1.05). Repeated for the 2nd then decided to put out the call for someone else to do some work that Skippy Heyden stepped up to. Razor took the 3rd before Kenny had a go for the 4th rep, started to feel it on the 5th but tucked in beside Heyden once again and was happy to finish the 6th rep without losing much.
Rep times were, 3.23, 3.23, 3.25, 3.28, 3.29, 3.27
Happy with that especially seeing it was over 30 degrees.
Even happier with the watch – it’s the same model as before but somehow it tells me all my heart rate stats for each rep now including average and max heart rate, No idea how that’s come up but found it interesting all the same.
Rep 1. Average h/r 112, Max 156
         2.  Average h/r 156, Max 168
         3.                           159,           170
         4.                           165             172
          5.                          167             176
         6.                           149,            164

Buggered once all done and reckon I drunk about 5 litres of water straight after.

Had a good evening as well, ventured out to the SCG for the local Big Bash Cricket Twenty /20 with the Chairman Tommy H, wife Kirst and the kids, great entertainment for the best part of 4 hours over a few beers on a balmy summers night. The Sydney Sixers got up with a  win on the last ball that saw the crowd going berserk, and Tom getting out some of his dance moves not seen since the Launceston trip back in June.


Cheers
