After a relatively easy week I was keen to keep the Sunday
long runs ticking over as I feel they are the key to me running and racing
well. A big turnout although no sign of ‘The Sweaty Pair’ (Wiseman &
Pearson), C.T or Jeet as the feud between him and Birchy continues.
Pace was honest even for the first 6k warm up loop and by
the time we arrived back at the cafe to collect the 7am starters we were
already averaging just over 4.30s.
Sat in with Enda for the first 10k loop talking all overnight
footy as the pace quickened up even more to return with a 44.41 lap (4.29
average)although was still feeling pretty good that I was pleased with. Out for loop #2 but as I looked over my
shoulder we seemed to have lost ¾ of the team with only Hoey, Trigger (Krone),
Birchy and the girls Eastside Elle and Laura still in for the duration. Think
most of were feeling it with about 5ks to go although it was little wonder as
the pace was perhaps the quickest I’ve mustered over that distance for some
time as it was hitting down to 4.20 pace to finish with.
26ks all up in 1hr:55 minutes averaging 4.26 for the
morning.
6k in 27.21 ave 4.33
10k loop 44.41 ave 4.29
10k loop 43.25 ave 4.21
Retreaded to the nearby cafe once done but it was bedlam
with about 20’000 teenagers and kids getting ready for the ‘Colour Run’ that
was in the park, Sat around for about 40 minutes waiting for coffee before
giving up and heading to Double Bay for a quality Bacon & Egg Burger that
even Prince Ho would have approved off and one that the NOTB boys can only
dream of getting.
Great morning out and happy to get a strong 26k done, Run of
the morning though went to Eastside Elle who is in great form and continued her
City to Surf run backing up with 34ks and looking good for Melbourne in
October.
Cheers
It was a long wait for morning coffee post run this morning , seen here with Flakey( who was getting a little hot under the collar with all the girls in tutu's) Trigger, Laura, Eastside Elle, Shannon and Birchy.
