Getting Dizzy

After a big afternoon/night watching all the footy codes i ventured into the park this morning for an easy run, Found it busy in there with the 100/50k races taking place. Saw Chris Truscott( C.T) coming through so tagged in with him, he had done about 30ks at this point and was running at 4.20 pace, had a good chat along the way and did 2 flat laps with him reeling in first spot from Timmy Cochrane, dropped back a little then and meet up with old training partner Damian Tancred who was going at a gentle 5 mins pace and kept him company for another 2 laps, was happy to get through my longest run in about 6 weeks for about 15ks in total in 69 minutes - No clue exactly as the GPS have finally given up the ghost and is now Kaput.
Beautiful morning out there and saw J-Fen doing his long run and stopped to have a chat with him , even give him the watch to sort out for me only to be told that it is a 'Lemon'.... very technical, thanks mate.
Good to see Wildman, Norman Cook, aka Stevie T back out there running after having a bit of a break, seemed to be going OK was well running behind Benny St, did call out a little abuse and i have a NEW nickname for him but i best run it by him first ........As i don't want to be upsetting him :)
Congrats to C.T who went on to WIN the race and cover the 100ks in a fast time of 7hr.51 - unbelievable. There were others out there who were struggling and they were only on about 30ks, God knows what they will be like adding another 70k on?

Big Game tonight with Man U vs Liverpool match on , despite Liverpool's very ordinary start to the season i can see them getting something from tonight's game, although its hard to see where the goals are going to come from
Timmy's Tip - Take the draw 1-1

Also congrats to Slim Sammy Agnew and his Palace team, went to bed last night with Palace 0 -2 down and awoke this morning to find they had ended up winning 3-2 , Sammy is somewhere around the Manly area now celebrating there first win in about 8 months, and now may even rejoin the HuRTS group to continue with his training after originally saying he will not return until they get there 1st win of the season.

Will have a run in the morning , try to do another 4ks at about 4.30 pace and hope to pick it up a little over the next week or so.

Congrats to POD as well on his 3rd Overall in the Biathlon out at Parramatta Park this morning, things are looking good for the big man with World Champs coming up in Auckland next month.

Cheers
