Yet more City to Surf training and with the big day only 3
weeks away we had some big Ins and Outs.
IN – welcome back Renee, Brucie Lambert and Hammersmith boy
Nicky Roberts
OUT – after a fall out with best mate Birchy, Jeet gets the
flick for the morning and forced to run with the soft NOTB for his troubles.
Decent team to start at 6.30am with the above mentioned as
well as Birchy, Jac, Pearson, Sweaty Sock Craig, Sammy J, and Irish pair Super
Kev and Enda. Easy 6k loop before heading out the park down Ocean Street and
onto New South Head Road. Heartbreak
Hill is the first test of the morning but I find I’m moving well and pretty
much running stride for stride with N.Roberts all the way to the top. A regroup
before we descend down Hopetoun Street to Watsons Bay before the 2nd
of the big climbs back up to the Lighthouse that surprised many of the group
and certainly got a few hearts working hard. Pearson wasn’t holding back, and I was happy
to sit in with Super Kev & Roberts. Again got the top without too much
damage done before a steady 9k return to the park coming back via Heartbreak. Still
running as a group we have one more hill to do to complete a solid session and
the final one out of Double Bay to Edgecliff and then back up Ocean Road nearly
finishes me as the group spread and I reckon most were happy to get back to the
cafe just as the watch ticked over 26ks for the morning.
All up 26ks in 2hr 04 minutes.
1st – 6ks 29 minutes
20ks on City Surf course 95 minutes average pace 4.43
Great session and probably one of my stronger ones in the
current block of training
Enjoyed the usual coffee and chit chat with Birch, Jac,
Renee and Neil P, with Birchy full of remorse as he then shocked everyone telling
us all about his antics from the Friday evening social.
Well earned rest day to come on Monday.
Cheers
