HuRTS 14 x 3 minute Session

Good to see many of the regulars back today for my favorite session that is the 14 x 3 minute efforts(60 sec recovery) even if some of them were still easing gently back into it. Big crowd with Mikey cock-a-hoop after his impressive run on Sunday and he was even talking about taking Tom's #1 Crown before Xmas.
Settled in for the first rep just behind J-Fen with a nice group of about 7 slightly ahead working about 3.30 pace, had the pleasure of running with Enda for 8 reps before he called time and then run with Mikey Conway pretty much for the second half, with Tom and Fats not far away on the same pace for a few sets.
Felt pretty good today although the last 4 seem tough to get through, This set starts with a cast of thousands but very few actually finish - with only really M.C (told you he was on fire), Elvis, J-Fen,  Bartles and Paul Hannell. about the only familiar faces at the end.
Pace for each reps were,3.30, 3.27, 3.23, 3.17, 3.23, 3.25, 3.30, 3.24, 3.32, 3.24, 3.22, 3.28, 3.33, 3.19
Pretty tough out there with the wind on the return legs, although looking at the times above i was actually quicker coming home - Go figure?
Sessions like today i was wishing Marshmallow Man Clyde would have been there to help shield me from the wind as J-Fen and Dickie Green were about as much use as an Ashtray on a Motorbike.
For the official record the other lads completed the following reps
Richie High           D.N.S
Sonya                   4 reps
Mermaid               4 Reps
Enda                     8 Reps
Adam                  8 Reps
Macca                  9 reps
HuRTS #1Tom    10 (?)
HuRTS# 4 Tucks  12
Terence                13
D' Grade Binfield   D.N.F (again ) :)

Had a new guy down there as well, looks very handy- he can't speak a word of English mind you - so was going to send Enda over to have a chat. I think he's French and he could be pushing the front guys once he finds his feet.
Not even sure of his name, so i'll just refer to him as (Inspector) Clouseau until i do :)


Big evening planned for the HuRTS boys with the Benny St Lawrence Olympic Quiz night, think there is a good turnout organised, with Old Magnus (Kanser) Magnusson "I've started so I'll finish' hosting the show.
Could be fun - hoping to make it over although i do have work to attend so I'll have to see what time i can get over to show my face at least.
I know we have some hotshot runners in the group , but I'm not so sure about there intellectual skills and quiz solving capabilities.
Timmy's tip to take top honours will be the Comm Bank team, Sonya, L.L, Sonya, Skippy Heyden and Binfield.

Have a good night
Cheers
