HuRTS 3 x 2k Reps ... with longest cool down.

9 degrees, piddling down with rain, sore throat and feeling terrible the last thing I wanted to do today was to go into town. But with the words ‘James is going to smash you Lindop, $25 on it’ ringing in my ears as I left Tommy H yesterday it meant I had no option but get down to the Passenger Terminal for the HuRTS 3 x 2k reps.
The rain had eased up by start time and a good showing with both Barts and Tom leading from the front whilst I yet again had a good group to work from. Angus, Jerome, Bruce, Sam, Biathlon winner Mike, Adrian Mc and many others formed group 2 as we pretty much all came in together on 6.55
The second rep I held firm but found I was off the pace some 10m all the way around and tried once again to stay with Mike coming in one second slower than the previous with the others some 5-6 seconds quicker.
Dreaded the 3rd rep but tried to break it down as much as possible, couldn’t match it with Jerome or Angus but was happy enough to complete the session with all 3 done under my pass mark of 7 minutes for each.
Rep times were: 6.55, 6.56, 6.58
Biggest cool down in history as I run with both Barts and Tom back around the Quay and the Gardens.
Three big days on the trot now – just what I need to be doing in the lead  up to City to Surf, and not finished yet as we have the 20k course run on Saturday morning to complete the week.
Things are on the Up…… Be scared James be scared.

Forgot to mention yesterday, but Tommy H came out running with another Crime to Fashion performance , After his girlie cream Mizuno top, and Black Magic Cadbury Pullover, he then comes out and shows complete disrespect and runs looking like ‘Benny out of Crossroads ( English show) complete with Beanie.
Shocking, might need to have a word with his good wife Kirst.

Tom doing his best rendition of Benny from Crossroads fame on yesterdays run.
Some of his finest moments. who could forget the carpet tie?


His shirt.


Tea towel anyone.

And finally the 'Black Magic' Man in action

Cheers
