2 x 300, 4 x 200 and 6 x 100s was the set for the HuRTS swimmers today as I went into town to find a big squad that included all the super fast guys, Pete, Charlie, Leech, Todd, Super Kev, Crossy Lad, Karim, Sam Towell, and nice to see a return of the fastest – Travis Shields. I knew my spot today, (at the back) with Paulie Hannell and later the Sweaty Sock (Craig) .
The first 300 was about as fast as I can go, coming in on 4.37 (probably the equivalent of me doing 3 min/ks ) hanging on to the feet of Crossy and then backed up with a 4.42, Was pretty much spent after that though and once the first 200 was done I was in need of a breather and was forced to miss the 2nd rep, Jumped back on the 3rd to swim with Leech (who was also feeling the pace) as we were started to get dragged all over the place by the time the 100 reps were to come around.
100s done and then a quick relay with your nominated partner, I got Pete Walker once more but we couldn’t stop Crossy and Karim winning (yet again), after Karim struggles to swim 1.45s in the set then manages to swim neck and neck with Walker for a 1.12 when it matters ??? …. Bloody shark.
Best part of 2ks done all up including the warm up, shattered at the end, and it will be an easy night tonight.
A big big weekend on the cards, obviously the Striders 10k first up, then in the footy the Mighty Potters head north to Sid James Park where we take on Tommy H’s Newcastle team. One of us will be in for some banter come Monday I suspect, although to be honest I think we can go there and come away with the draw
Timmy’s Tip – Newcastle 2 v Stoke 2
Somewhere between those two it’s another night at the flicks so prepare yourself for another Movie Review come Monday, and then the Sunday arvo beers are back on the agenda for this week.
Got sent this little spiel earlier today, and look who’s giving out testimonials these days, from a well known Triathlete and Long Distance Runner ? you got to love the spelling J
Have a great weekend
Train Well & Stay Safe
Cheers
