Morning. First Thursday swim back at PAP in over 3 weeks and was happy to knock out
2.5ks in no time at all with a decent set completed.
Lunchtime into town and a long warm up down to the Passenger
Terminal for the tough 3 x 2k reps around Hickson and into Barangaroo . Decided
even before the start the plan of attack was 1 x hard, 1 x race pace, and 1 x
easy and was met by a massive team on a stunner of a day.
Front group was Frenchie Jerome, Prince Ho and Mad Dog
Moyles and as they flew out I realized I was moving pretty well myself as I
went past half way in around 3.18s. Only hipster Chris slightly ahead that was
keeping me honest as we entered Barangaroo for the final 500m but held on OK to
stop the clock with perhaps one of my quicker times with a 6.39
Two minute recovery and in this time had words with Crossy
Lad (who was taking it easy ) and agreed he’d run with me pacing race pace ( I
asked for 3.40) for the return.
Alongside Brendan it felt pretty comfortable as we hit half way in 3.34 time
and then held to see it out in 7.06 overall.
Still feeling good I stuck to my guns and decided the last
would be done at a comfortable pace and had the chance to help out #1 female
Renee who told me she was running 7.45s for the previous. Not sure what
happened in the two minute recovery because she wasn’t running that pace with
me , she flew and looked in great shape to end with a 7.25
A good warm down back to the start with Crossy , and then
carried on back through the city with ‘The Prince’
I know I’ve had some pretty average sessions over the past
but today I actually felt good for a change and was moving freely, Don’t want
to get carried away but could this be the weekend where I can finally put a
half decent time back on the board ? Fingers Crossed.
Real easy day tomorrow, Normally swim but I’m thinking I may
even give that the boot tomorrow.
Cheers
