Even with the State 10k last weekend there was a strong turnout at the Passenger Terminal for the start of the 3 x 2k HuRT session that was on program.
Tucked in with a great little group that included once again the Branagan Brothers, Leech, Rich Large, Stevie P, Jack 'The Lad', Frenchman Dom as well as a few others and despite it being a tad quick I felt relatively comfortable to tick the first set over in 6.51
Much the same for the return leg although coming under the bridge with 500m to go the boys did gap me and I was struggling towards the end as the pace indicated dropping by some 4 seconds. The 2 minute recovery soon goes on these sets and I knew the 3rd was going to be a battle. Held on to the 1k marker reached in 3.31 but basically gave it away after that point to cut back to a 3.49 2nd half to round out the session in 7.20
Times for the day; 6.51, 6.55, 7.20
Happy enough although let myself down on the final 1000m when I should be trying to see it out.
A real easy cruise back to the starting point for another 2k before joining Jerome, Leech, Renee and Jac for a cool down back through the city.
Sight of the Day goes to Crossy Lad who invertedly rocked up to the session after forgetting his run shorts. Not to be outdone he decided to run in his good wife's Mary's latest latex underwear. Not the best sight and it was little wonder he was running fast at the front with the speedy 'Special Q' and Scotty O to avoid others seeing him.
Bet of the Day. Got collared by Erika at the end who wanted a head to head $20 bet with me for the upcoming Gold Coast Half. I must have rocks in my head as she beat me by a near 2.30 at the recent Canberra Half but being the fair guy I am, I agreed to give here chance to win her hard earned back.
Bet On.
Cheers
I'll have $20 on Erika too please.
ReplyDeleteNo, not taken sorry.
ReplyDeleteOnly had the bet with Erika as a return wager on Canberra, plus the fact she's Swedish :)
Are we sure it was not intentional on the part of Crossy?
