With Roger pulling the pin for the next 6 weeks on our Brick sessions due to him doing specific training for the Coolangatta Gold, that sees him concentrate on more swimming and boarding i am now left without my regular Wednesday training partner.
Still not to be put off i was out on the bike this morning and after work i knocked out a tough 30ks going over the same course that i did whilst on the time trial last week. Wasn't smashing it but was certainly working hard enough. All up by the time i cycled home and with the cool down was 60ks
Saw the regular Hardmen going around at various stages of the park with Cylde, POD, and even Enda (at certain times) floating around as was 'Over' the Hill ( Johnny Gnome) who was trying his best to still come out with some smart comments. Don't know what it is but his banter is just not what is the norm and i am starting to find him about as irritating as a dose of 'Thrush'
It was straight down to the pool after, and again caught up with the boys who were only doing 4ks today as they are tapering for a big swim meet this week up in the Gold Coast, I managed to knock out 2.2ks in total doing more short but faster reps that nearly killed me.
Will try to get back again in the morning for another hit out to build the ks up.
Had an email come through last night - telling us about the 1st Biathlon of the Season down at the Boy Charlton Pool on the 11th October? Will have to drum the boys up for this one, to see who can get the bragging rights for a few months as well as to check out if Chairman Tom has improved his swim leg and managed to rid himself of the armbands this year.
Early Favorite and we are still over 4 weeks away is undoubtedly, Richie High after his many swim squads he's been seen doing all over the winter months, although Pete Walker will no doubt have something to say about that. I believe J-Fen is also making his debut this season as well, and Enda's swim suit has officially been BANNED :)
......plenty more to come on this race, ..... to be sure.
Cheers
