The annual Thailand trip usually symbols the start of the silly season for me and at the completion of the race normally means no more training until around the 10th Jan in the New Year once I've spent a few days at the cricket and the Test Match is over. This is done because there is a feast of activities going on that sees many a party that includes the demon drink, This year i have vowed to train through it though even if it is at a less intensity. So today even after a big weekend i headed into town to the A.B.C Pool to meet Pete Walker, Todd, Champ, Brendan and Gun Swimmer Mike(?) for the usual Monday swim. No sign of Enda mind who i have on good authority was seen heading to the gym to pump up some Iron claiming it was to cold for him.
Session was 5 x 300s, 5 x 100m with 200 warm up and cool down, I arrived very early as i knew that i couldn't stay with the guys and knocked out 500 warm up first, and after doing the first 300 then went to doing 200s instead of the scheduled set. Tried to tuck in with Todd and was hanging in there although he does have some kick on him and when he fires up i thought a hailstorm was beating down on my head (got a bloody headache now)
Finished off with 4 of the 5 100 reps and was buggered again come the end, It's only been two weeks since the race and can't believe how hard i found today's session with doing nothing during that time. Just goes to show that i will need to continue to work at it if I'm to avoid losing it altogether.
2ks in total for the day.
Saw Kanser out running once i had finished, out with one of his Running clients so 'young Bronwyn' tells me, also mentioned that Davie Boy has been training her for a couple of years now for Marathons can you believe? Will have to find out a little more for the Trash readers, so stay tuned, Although i think he needs it as rumour around the Centennial traps yesterday is that HuRTS #1 Lady Laura is again been poached and Kanser is not a happy bunny about the idea of losing his star recruit he gained last year from Mikey to some 'Young Cub' :)
Will be out for the dreaded Tempo set tomorrow although will be taking it easy and wont be killing myself especially at this time of the year.
Big week ahead starting on Thursday with the HuRTS night, and have another 3 nights after that full on with drinks and parties...............roll on New Year i say :)
Tomorrow i will be giving the Paddy Power Odds on who will take home the 'bling' at Thursday nights awards presentation. Loads of money already in for Mikey for one of the awards, wonder which one that will be for? :)
cheers
