Terrible conditions once again and only the tough were out
for today’s Double Header. The NEW Curl Curl Champ Richie Mullaney was out
leading from the front and when the going gets tough, HuRTS #1 Renee is never
far away and was joined by other ladies Erika Ekland, Greta and one other lady who
I’ve yet to meet but looks pretty strong?
I was struggling for time today but seeing I was in town
with a client before I ventured over for the first leg that is the 20 minute
hill tempo. The key was not to start to hard and just maintain a steady pace,
Richie went out strong, and I found I was soon behind Brucie Lambert as I went
through the first k in a healthy 4.08
Lapped a few of the back markers soon after but was already looking
at the watch as early as about the 8 minute mark. Managed to get to half way and was happy to
tick the clock down after that as I noticed the pace was dropping. This is one
tough session but it was made slightly easier today as the high wind was behind
us each time heading UP the hill that was more than welcome.
Averaged 4.20s for the whole 20 minutes.
A quick trip over to the Stone Gates soon after and I basically
set the guys off for the 5k tempo run but had to make a quick exit once I’d
seen them depart.
Back to the pool tomorrow for the swim to end the week.
Cheers
