Thursday.
Surprised to see such a big turnout at Rushcutters for the
double header so soon after Gold Coast weekend but good to see Birchy, Angus, Barts,
Enda and girls Eastside Elle and Laura turning
the legs over. Had to move from field #1 over to #2 and marked out a makeshift
400 metres (that was actually found to be 440m).
Quentin was leading the field, with a few others who I still
don’t know just ahead of me. Found myself
battling away with Barts, hipster Chris and Fenton whilst Angus was pushing to
overtake over the final 150m
Came home in 78, and some of the lads were saying it was
about 8 seconds long but I think closer to 6 to be honest as I was pushing hard
and 72s are about right for me. Kept all 7 bang on the 78 but not before ‘Me,
Myself and I (Barts) gave poor Angus a short shrift on rep #5 for pulling up 40
metres short when his watched beeped –oh dear, thought Angus was about to cry.
Once again all consistent with 78 done for all 7 reps.
Was happy with that and with another race this weekend I
decided to sit out the tempo part of the session.
A good few beers in the evening with Birchy, Kanser and Enda,
ensured a top night out although I may pay for it come Sunday. Enda took
advantage again and hassled me for another wager for Sundays event. Don’t ask me
how but we’ve come to a 2.03 minute handicap start for me. Think I’ve been done
as I’m expecting him to run 34.15 and me 36.30 (at best). Still, I took $20
from him after he backed Hardman J.C over my man Rich Large at the Gold Coast
so it’s only fair I give him a chance to win back.
Also give good client ‘The Love Doctor’ Welsh Craig a
healthy 2.35 start for another $20
Friday.
Missed my Thursday morning swim yesterday so did the right
thing and backed up and got it done this morning. Usual 3ks done mixing it up
and I feel it’s getting easier.
Out for a few beers with the lads, Birchy, Enda and Kanser.
Have a great weekend
Train and Race well
Stay safe
Cheers
