Tempo Tuesday

Big weekend on the social with the Monday off for the Queens Birthday public holiday, Had a break between clients this morning so decided to do the tempo session that was on the program although thought 36 minutes instead of the 45 would suit me better in my current condition.
Achilles felt fine, it was the rest of me that was buggered as I was working harder then what I should have been just to hold 4 min/ks, Turned on the 18 minute mark covering 4.5ks and just tried to hang on for the return leg. Managed to pick the pace up (albeit slightly) to 3.58s for just over 9ks all up (average 3.59).
Did manage 8ks prior with my group as a means of a warm up and a 5k warm down at the end for 22k for the morning.
Saw Enda cruising around before the start, looked like a fail on his part on trying to do the session, mind you he did say he still has a cold ....Bless him.

With missing the swim set yesterday I arranged with Eloquent to meet at the pool at lunch, with no Pete Walker, or MrAce barking orders I thought we may do an easier set. But any chance of that went out the window when Cialis (Christian) rocked up.  Led the first, 3rd and 5th rep whilst Cialas did the honours on 2 & 4
Times were 6.58, 6.49, 6.45, and 6.49. 7.02 (Julia did the first 100m) - Wrecked at the end and so much for a recovery swim as I could barely cycle back home.
Will back up in the morning and try to join the BRAT /Hardmen who run around on Wednesday mornings - always good for a sledge or two if nothing else especially if J.C is in attendance.

Tomorrow - Find out the REAL reason why Kanser has not been spotted at training, in a story with photos he would prefer I didn't show  - all will be revealed (and it's not pretty, so be warned )

Lions game 4 of the Tour tonight against the NWS/QLD Combined team, hopefully turn them over and keep the win lose ratio in tact. Big game coming up this Saturday against the Waratahs, or more importantly the first BIG session watching the boys go around with an afternoon in the pub pre and post game around Paddo:)

Cheers
