Big team again and despite rocking up on time Mikey was all
set to bark out the orders and looked a little disappointed when I arrived.
Noticed the full team of Irish boys back as we gear up for yet another year in competition
for the Churchill Cup. Leech, Kanser, Super Kev, Macca, Enda and wannabe Jerome
‘Paddy’ Dupoy all starting to look sharp for the May showdown.
Session today was 3,2,1 minute efforts (with 60 second break
after each) x 5 = 45 minutes
Set off pretty well for the first couple of reps (18 minutes
) despite running solo the whole way before Enda and The Leech caught me around
the Quay area, tapped onto them for the 3rd 9 minute set that took
us past the Passenger Terminal and up Hickson Road and got as far as I have in
a long time at the entrance to Barangaroo before the turn around point averaging
a healthy 3.45 pace.
Sat on the two boys for the 4th 3 minute effort
but the band soon snapped around the Quay and once that happened I was gonski
as the clock ticked over the 30 minute mark. With no one around I cut short
across the Opera forecourt and once back into the Domain was keen just to see the
last 10 minutes out.
Pace dropped loads for the return down to over 4 min/ks
(4.03) as a strong looking Jeet finished off well and I crossed the line in
45.08 and that was even cutting short.
11.3ks all up, still work to be done. Happy to get to 30
minutes before the fade came so slowly getting there
Would like to get a few ks under the belt tomorrow, but
feeling tired now so will see how I feel in the morning before deciding
Cheers
