The Sunday crowds keep coming to join the SOTB team although
no sign of C.T, Laura or the ‘Sweaty Sock’ (Craig) and even NEW resident SOTB
girl ‘Eastside Elle’ decided to go easy and stay north this morning only for
her training partners to leave without her that meant she had to run solo for
the next two hours – very poor form I say but it’s what you expect from that
part of town I suppose with that ‘Me, Myself and I’ attitude .
Bloody humid morning that saw the team sweat bucket loads
(Leech taking the award for most fluid lost) and that was just even in the
easier 6k loop, Tried to keep everyone together holding a cruisy 4.45 per/k
pace
The start of the 10k loop was where the pace picked up and
its where the faster guys just can’t help themselves and take off, Had to cut short
our usual 10k loop by about 600m due to the tree cutting that sealed off the
path and it was here I thought Birchy was going to chain himself to the trees
in protest. Back into the park and once we hit Woollahra Hill the pace upped once
more as I returned to the cafe in 42 minutes for the 9.4k section averaging 4.28s
With one flat lap to do I wasn’t keen on doing the usual 4
min/k section today but started off with the guys who before long were running
sub 4s anyway, Soon dropped off by around 2ks but was happy to be holding a
steady 4.13s. Added a little on by coming through the middle of the park to get
another 5k done to round it up to over 20 for the morning.
For the 3rd straight week another 20ks done in 90
minutes – average 4.30
Will start picking the ks up from here and will aim to do
that extra flat loop to get it up to 24 each week for the rest of January.
Enjoyed a post run coffee with Corky, Birchy, Leech and Jeet
and later Jerome & Neil P as the ‘Prefect’ Jeet played around on my phone
uploading Whatsapp, Donkey Kong, Pacman, and God knows what else?
Quiet afternoon planned, no drinks as not feeling the best,
but will get set for a busy week ahead.
Cheers
