Busy morning with work and with 13ks done early with clients
it meant that the HuRTS 8 x 5 minute efforts was always going to be a tough ask
and had decided that if I could knock out a solid 6 then I’d walk away happy.
Big group and nice to see Barts back with us for the first
time post London, as too Macca, Warrior Charlie and Mikey for a guest
appearance before he soon departs to Hippy Land in Byron Bay. Lord, we even had
Irishman Robbie O’Neal making a first appearance of the year.
With no real fast guys out I found a good group to sit with
that included many of the sub 35 minute runners from Saturday, Steve Perry,
Brucie Lambo, Hamish, Hipster Mitch, Dom, Renaud, Super Kev, Angus Boyd, Robbie
O, and even Barts was happy to run at
our pace. Decent pace covering over 1.4ks at 3.33 pace for the first 5 minute
effort, The return is usually faster but today it was anything but with the high cross winds that
made it tougher to get back to the Opera Gates. Managed to get back though
holding similar, and did likewise for the next two. Rep 5 I was starting to
feel the squeeze as the pace dropped slightly and was then mighty happy I made
the call to call it quits after the 6th
Pace for the 6 reps, 3.33, 3.34, 3.34, 3.33, 3.37, 3.36
Warm up and cool down meant over 11k done bringing a healthy
24 for the day.
A nice little chat with Warrior Charlie at the end, the
usual good banter with Renaud ( that man really does need some NEW sledging
material) and I even had enough left in the tank to give Fats a blast (for
basically doing bugger all to ever help me out when its needed)
Cheers
