Nothing special this morning. Still no GPS watch so just run for time. Did a real easy 40 mins first up then went and joined the BRAT /Hardmen that were running around. Met Kroney, T.B and Enda at the bubbler and thought I’d knock a further 6k loop out with them. That was until Enda decided to play ‘Pussy #2’ for the 2nd time in 3 days saying he couldn’t do it (Too tired) so just run with Kroney as T.B was running about 4 min/ks somewhat ahead.
Run till I had done 60 minutes on the watch, felt tired but the heat and humidity certainly didn’t help once again, sweating buckets.
Been a lot of talk and flak about certain North Shore men struggling to complete runs over the past week. Wouldn’t have believed it myself but its true by all accounts – due to the strict diet some of them are pursuing ?
I was sent some photos this morning of Benny Streckeisen and the Chairman Tommy H to prove all is well though so no need to fear.
I see the first barbs were fired yesterday from the Irish camp in regards to the Churchill / Sands Cup coming up for the SMH Half in May. Team captain Enda is full of confidence after seeing the Leech back running strong at yesterday’s session. Throw in Kanser, possibly PLOD, and if they play the cards right Robbie O’Neil then we may at least have a challenge on our English hands?
We won’t stand for any nonsense this year mind as like we did 12 months back where they pulled every trick in the book in wresting the cup for the first time, No handicaps, no NON Irish runners , and all members will have at least had to have done 2 sessions of some capacity (either running, swimming, or drinking socially) to be up for selection over the past 12 months.
Sure we will hear more in the months to come.
Timmy’s Tip – Take the early odds and get on the English boys NOW
Tough session tomorrow – 20 min hill repeat tempo , followed by a 5k tempo run around the Domain. Praying it’s not as hot as it has been the past week or so.
Cheers
