Cycled into town as i had to drop the bike back in for a few minor adjustments before making my way to the NEW meeting point on Hickson Road that Mikey pulled rank on ( then preceded to be late for)
Big crowd on show with the return of Brit Olympic Boys Tommy H, Skippy Heyden and Slim Sammy Agnew, good to see Kanser, Clyde and Fats back out there as well after a few weeks in hibernation.
On another glorious day in Sydney town, i took it out fairly strong on the first rep sitting just behind front runners Tucks, Kanser and Heyden, and slightly ahead of Razor, Tom and Mikey's crew.
The next few reps were pretty much the same averaging between 3.16s to 3.20 pace, Poor Mikey Conway was shouting himself hoarse telling everyone to 'Keep Left' on the return leg each time, I must admit i did have a few problems getting past Clyde's wide berth myself ...............Looks like he's back keeping share prices up at 'Pie Face' once more.
All was going OK until about 8 seconds to go on the 5th rep, and i felt exactly the same twinge as i did last Sunday, Tried to do effort 6 but knew after about 30 seconds that i couldn't and ended up walking back to the start. Got the customary abuse from certain quarters as they went by on there 7th rep (Jeez, its a tough crowd out there......no sympathy these days it seems)
As i stood contemplating where i go from here, Andy Heyden called it a day after 8 reps so just jogged back into town with him, hearing about his Games Exploits and the HuRTS drunken behaviour that took place - More Shame :)
Looks like a few more forced days off now yet again, hope this isn't going to become a regular occurrence ?
BTW. Who was the Geezer today that was doing his best E.J impression on the start of every rep for about 60 seconds only to die on his @rse after that? He was old enough to be Hardman J.Cs father so he should know better :)

Roll Out on the New Bike
After a big Sunday afternoon on the terps it was a slow start to the working week this morning, in fact it was nearly 11am before i managed to cycle over to the park for the first real test on the bike.
Thought i would just do a few laps and decided on 1 lap hard, 1 lap easy x 4, fairly windy out there again but pushed the pace on the first for a 6.01 lap, had an incident on the 2nd when a guy decides to veer right over the road that resulted in me giving him my best Clyde verbal volley at the poor guy as i narrowly avoided a collision and losing a bit of time
Managed to sneak under the 6 minutes on the third rep but was just outside on the 4th and final rep as i was hanging for a drink at that stage of the session and i didn't have any water aboard as i still haven't worked out how to use the New 'Bladder Bag' watering system that it has :)
Times were; 6.01, 6.15( with a torrent of abuse), 5.59, 6.04
All up by the time i got home was 45ks
Will be returning to the HuRTS fold tomorrow, not sure of the session but really need to kick start my running again..........Lets just pray its not the bloody Tempo set.
Well not the start us Red fans were looking for with Liverpool's disaster start getting thumped 0 -3, some of those players need to have a good hard look at themselves. Stoke managed a point away from home so that's not a bad start. and the Gunners with no RVP look like they are going to struggle in front of goal this year. Terrible start for Slim Sammy Agnew's Eagles as well, going down 2- 3 at home .... Oh Dear :)
Oh, Yes very nearly forgot to mention Tom's Toon Army Newcastle, ..........And what a disgrace they are, with the manager setting a very poor example to all with his manhandling of the linesman, Mind you its normal behaviour up in those neck of the woods.
For the record they won 2 - 1 (if anyone other then Tom really cares) but expect to see the manager in a lot of trouble and a sideline ban will be on the cards i say - 4 weeks?

Getting Back into it.
Had every intention of doing nothing until Tuesday but was bombarded with late night texts from Kanser wanting me to join him for his Sunday long run. So despite a late night watching the start of the English footy i was out and about waiting (again) for the Kanser at 8am. As per usual he was late but for once i didn't mind as the 'Mermaid' Emma was passing and gave me the chance to run and have a chat with her for a flat lap, Got back to the cafe and still no sign, then J-Fen came by so tagged on to him before Davie ambles up and joins us. Johnno doesn't mess around on Sundays doing 4.05s so after one lap Kanser and I dropped off and did our own thing knocking out one of our 8k loops we do.
Pace was kept honest without killing ourselves and i had no issues with the hammy that i was pleased with, i left Kanser to do his final lap by himself as i cruised back to the cafe for a little under 20ks for the morning.
All up 19.2k in 85 minutes averaging 4.28 per/k - Happy with that on a beautiful winters morning that had the feeling that spring is in the air and not far away at all.
Well another big block of training is coming up over the next 4 weeks - not along stint but should lead us nicely into the Sydney Festival and the Half that i will do. I did have Mikey Conway challenging me to a head to head at the next Striders 10k at North Head before that though so i best sharpen up for that race as well. I might even give Tommy H a call to see if he wants to back his boy again :)
No sign of any breaky at the House of Kane's this morning, although in all fairness he did invite us over for the afternoon as its Young Conor's 2nd Birthday and there is a bit of a party happening. Not sure if i can make it as i have an afternoon in Surry Hills planned with a few beers that i feel i have missed out on over the past 5 weeks:)
Cheers

Easy Week.
No training to report this week as i am still recovering from this Hammy niggle i have, will just take it easy over the weekend and get back into it next week, I see all the Big guns have now returned from there overseas holidays, Tom is Back, Slim Sammy Agnew was spotted running around the park on Wednesday and even Kanser's updated his Blog just to keep J- Fen happy.
Was going to do the Parramatta Duathlon on Sunday, but feel i will have to miss out as i don't want to aggravate the legs as i have the Half Marathon coming up in about 4 weeks and want to run a good run there instead.
A bit of a downer this week - what with the hammy and NO Olympics to watch, still i found a good little clip of some of our Athletes blasting out a top Queen Song from days gone by. Check it out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWMySZa0TzQ
Also here is a photo of ALL our medal winners - ALL bar ONE ............ Can you spot who is missing?
and finally a classic photo to finish it all off.
With the Games now over its time to start all over again with the English Premier League (EPL) beginning this weekend. Moneybags Man City will be aiming to repeat there win last year, But Timmy's Tip Man Utd i think will get the better of them this year especially now they have signed Van Persie from Arsenal. Although i still have some concerns for there midfield.
Stoke again will hold there own, just on there home form alone and am tipping they will finish above the 'Villa' As for Tom's Toon? should go OK but wont be as strong as last seasons campaign? For Master Sweeney's 'Gooooooonnnnners' - another win less year i am predicting, although may go close in the F.A.Cup. In the absence of Van Persie , look at the big name signing they have just brought in.....
Arsenal's BIG new signing :)
Hoping Liverpool can have a good season with a new man at the helm after our 'King Kenny' was shown the door after a very poor year.
Down a league (or two) Slim Sammy's Crystal Palace will be aiming to return to the glory days (well 1982) but sorry to report mate but it could be a long 9 months ahead.
Have a great weekend
Train well and stay safe
Cheers

Olympic Games Wrap Up.
With the Marathon on Sunday evening that was basically the last of the events for the Games, i thought i would look back and reflect on the best moments over the past 16 days that brought me much joy (and Pride) as i sat and watched.
My Top 10 moments of the Games (not in any order except the first 3) were
1. Mo Farah - Winning the 10'000 (and 5000) pretty much a flawless display of running
2. Alistair Brownlee - Triathlon, sensational effort and basically won from the front and 29.07 off the bike..WOW
3. Jessica Ennis - Heptathlon, The New Darling of G.B capped of a Super Saturday night at the track
4. Rowing - Ladies pairs Grainger and Watkins, although all the Rowers take a bow, bloody tough sport that one.
5. Greg Rutherford - Long Jump, Proved that "Ginga's" can Jump , and after having his fair share of injuries was great to see ( even better relegating the skippy to Silver :) )
6. Cycling - Chris Hoy, Greatest G.B Olympian EVER, how good is this guy?
7. Cycling Time Trial - Bradley Wiggens - Gold after also winning the Tour only 2 weeks prior.
8. Sailing - Ben Ainslie, Any guy that wins GOLD and stands in his Boat singing 'Land of Hope & Glory gets me every day - Legend.
9. Equestrian - Zara Phillipps, Not really my sport to be honest but i could watch Zara ALL day, if only she wasn't married to that 'Meat Head' Rugby player Mike Tindall
10. Boxing - Bantamweight Luke Campbell GOLD after giving the Irish Boy John Joe Nevin a good shoeing :)
There were many more as well, and the closing of the Games brought goosebumps to me - Bloody Brilliant display from all, with Eric Idle a standout as well, and don't get me going with Young Emma from the Spice Girls.
Will go down as the 'Greatest Games' of all times............and that's without my English Hat on as well :)
England stand PROUD :)
Next Stop - Party Town in downtown RIO. BRAZIL

Meet the NEW Training Partner.
With the Hamstring giving me grief since Sunday i took the past two days off and got a massage on Tuesday to help ease the muscles. Wednesday is the normal Brick Day with Roger but unable to do today so Roger was OK just to spin around on the bike with me for an easy 60 minutes in the park.
A bit of work to do after before i had an appointment to see my new training partner in the city.... Readers of the TRASH meet.................... USAIN (Bolt) , Yes after much deliberation i have purchased a new time trial bike, i thought after 4 years with the old trusted Cervelo it was time to upgrade and i think i can justify a new one with the a triathlons and duathlons that i am now doing.
Ended up getting the Specialized Shiv Comp, and if i can get half as good usage out of it as i did the Cervelo i will be more then happy. Been given the nickname Usain (after the great feats of the Man in the Games) , on the bases that its Fast and its Black :)
The New Machine, now just need the engine to drive the thing
Usain will be making his debut at either the Parramatta or BRAT Duathlon - lets hope PLOD is not there :)
Went back to the park at lunch and did a few easy laps to test it out - early days but felt OK, even saw the HuRTS boys lead by Mikey Conway on there longish Wednesday run in the there as well.
Will continue to rest up on the running front for a few more days , I did want to do the Parramatta Duathlon on Sunday but i will make the call for that one on Friday
Just seen the official results from City to Surf - Seems i was faster then i thought. they have very generously give me a time of 51.27 now, so I'll take that :)
Anybody seen or heard of Davie Kane of late, getting worried about him, the fans (well J-Fen) were asking me about his BLOG and the fact that he doesn't write anything when he's not running well?
I see he didn't run on Sunday, rumour going around is that he thought anything over 9.65ks was going to be to big an ask :)
Talking of which - anyone seen Ten Pound Tommy Highnam around town - I need to relieve him of a few English notes he may have left over from his recent holiday :)
Cheers

City to Surf 51.35
After a pretty good build up leading into Australia's biggest fun run over the 14ks i rocked up with a spring in my step to meet the masses and the normal pre race greetings and banter. Even getting my 5 seconds of fame with my ugly bonce on the telly when they interviewed Lara.
After the usual frantic start i settled early and run side by side with Enda before he pushed slightly ahead going into Double Bay.
Stayed to my race plan and got to O'Sullivan Road (5ks) exactly where i wanted to be in 17.30 and prepared for the next 5ks block as i went past a badly fading Charlie Low (yet another victory over old Champagne), Saw T.B and then Richie Palmer go past me on Heartbreak but got to the top without to much damage done and still on target time. The next challenge was to come about 9ks where you turn at the Roundabout on New & Old South Head Roads when i thought i had run into a force 10 gale as the wind was pretty bad at this stage of the run. Got to the final bend before the 10k mark and my race was about to come to an end unfortunately when my right hamstring went out in sympathy of Mikey Conway - pulled back a little to go through 10ks in 36.40 still with that sub 50 minutes in the back of my mind but knew it was going to be close. I can normally finish the last 3-4 ks of this race well but as soon as i tried to put the foot down i had this shooting pain which was disappointing as i had reeled in a faster fading Enda (who was gone for all money). Got to 12ks and knew i was fighting a losing battle as i could only come down at 3.40 pace and Adam was the next to fly by along with about 100 others, The only one who hadn't was Pete Walker but i knew he must have been close by.
For the first time in years the last k didn't hurt as i was forced to just cruise it home as i stopped the watch in 51.35 - Disappointed but at least it was an injury that stopped me achieving the goal time opposed to just running badly so hopefully i can kick on again towards the next race which will be the Sydney Festival Half in September.
It was a fairly quick recovery due to the cold before we got the invite back to Enda's for morning breakfast and fry up on the BBQ, not to mention the 9 cups of tea ( What is it with the Irish and the lack of Sugar though ) before getting on the sauce (beer ) for the afternoon.
It wasn't long before the Irish were up to there fun and games, claiming Victory over team England even going to the trouble of having a Medal Ceremony Olympic style with the Gold, Silver and Bronze handed out. Then to really rub salt into the wound we were forced to drink some Irish Pish that they made up specially for the victory.
Congrats to the Boys though , Even without the hammy issue i wouldn't have taken PLOD today with his 49.18 - fantastic run.
Look forward to the NEXT challenge now, i have sorted a 3 Way tier comp, England vs Australia vs 'The Mixed Bags' (Ireland/Kiwi/American/Lebs whoever) - After the last whipping care of the English we have amended the rules as well - all will be revelled but basically it will be done on a points system and you go head to head with the equivalent ranked number in the opposing team.
Some of the HuRTS times that i gathered from yesterdays race:
First home was Tucks, after a pretty ordinary year to date and with Tom away he was keen to get back and get a decent run under his belt. Tough day for many with times down in general.
Timmy's run of the Day though goes to Sultry Sonya who PBed with a fast 58.3x? - great effort

Team Ireland's winning Beer with own label - it tasted shocking :)
Team Ireland the Winners - very gracious in victory .............Yeah Right .
Lindop (Bronze) , PLOD (Gold ) and Enda (Silver) ,
... and One Enda didn't want published, on the couch with his shrink Sparksy for yet another session on what went wrong AGAIN. Even Sparksy looks bemused :)
Thanks to Enda and Angel Angela for hosting yesterdays activities - great day out, although could have done without the clog dancer in my head today :)
Cheers
