Rushcutter 5 x 1k Reps (rolling every 5 mins)

With Oval #1 under repair we had to relocate to #2 for the 6 x 1k HuRTS set today that brought out a big group including big guns ‘Special Q’ & Barts and nice to see The Chairman Tommy H make another rare appearance with the team.

Marked out a course that consisted of two whole loops and the straight on the 3^rd ending just outside the cafe and once away found I was leading a 2^nd group out with the likes of Skippy, Jerome, Mikey L and the much improved Brendan Fehon. Happy with a 3.16 to kick things off and basically held throughout although I was finding the boys were coming past on each rep around the 450m mark.

Decided early on (I think as Tom had planted the seed) just to do the 5 instead of 6 and was therefore keen to keep it strong and consistent at least despite me feeling goneski after the 4^th. Tucked in with Jerome on the 5^th and final rep as he makes it look pretty easy whilst I’m nearly flat lining but managed to hold on for a 3.17 to end the day.

Rep Times. 3.16, 3.16, 3.16, 3.17, 3.17

Great set and once again even happier that there were no blowouts on times that show I’m on the up at last.

 

Sight of the Day, seeing Old Sammy J walking around once again (not even sure he got through 4 reps?)  - not sure what’s going on but that’s 2 from 2 that he’s not completed. 3 and out I say.

No sign of Crossy Lad , Enda, Birch, Laura, Leech, Macca, Jeet or even Prince Ho (is his star starting to wane?)

 

Rest day tomorrow, not a bad thing either as I hear we are in for plenty of rain over the next 48 hours or so?

 

Forgot the pics from today .

Can always rely on the lads to give me a lift when I'm struggling, Skippy, 'Q' Tommy H, Barts and Jerome.

 

Some of the team after the 6 x 1k reps.

Proof Tommy H does make an appearance from time to time

A couple of the team finishing off strong
