Lovely day to hit the pool to end the week and rocked up ready to start and only Todd was with me. Sat on Todd’s toes for a 400m rep coming in on 6.30 before the rest of the team decided to arrive.
A series of 200 and 100m efforts was the go today, nice team with Pete working from the front , with the likes of Todd, Angus and Charlie not far behind, I was happy to sit on Zoe Williams feet throughout the session – although was battling at times to even do that. Zoe, Brendan, Pablo (Escobar) and I all took it in turns to lead out a 200 and I was happy with my effort of 3.09 (even if I was stuffed once completed).
Finished off with 6 x 100m all done sub 1.34 pace and then got paired with Angus for the regular Friday 2 x 100m relay, unfortunately the pairing of Todd & Pablo were too strong for us and relegated us into 2nd spot (not helped by me trying to impress with a tumble turn failure – missed the wall altogether in a pathetic attempt to save a second or two)
Over 2ks done in total, ticking along OK in the pool (for me at least)
Massive weekend ahead, in the footy its GAME ON as mate Slim Sammy Aggers Crystal Palace team come to the Potters to sample a proper football atmosphere and crowd.
Hopefully it’s another 3 points in the bag , take the Timmy Tip and back the Potters to win
Stoke 2 v C. Palace 1
On Sunday it’s the ‘Hanley Farewell Handicap’ BRAT Triathlon that’s been organized by the Cork boy before he departs to Dubai, He’s called in all the Irish BIG guns for this one PLOD, Evan, Kroney, Hayden, Conor and Hanley himself (noticed Enda didn’t get the call?) A Sprint race 750/20/5k on handicap with PLOD giving us all a healthy lead.
Hopefully despite getting rorted again on the handicap I can hold the boys at bay and get bragging rights over a few beers for the Sunday session that will follow.
Have a good weekend
Train well , stay safe
Cheers
