Monday.
Recovery swim with Crossy Lad, Angus , Manly Steve and young
Phoebe down at PAP. Pretty easy and only knocked out less than 1.5ks in total
that suited me just fine.
Tuesday,
Changed the HuRTS session as it had down a 45 minute
progressive set that I thought may have been too much after Sundays race. I
thought a nice change would be to do a set around Barangaroo and with some
guidance from Tommy H we settled on 4 x 1k reps (off 5 minutes) and 4 x 500m .
With Tom back he pretty much led from the front alongside
Crossy and Nicky Roberts whilst I surprised myself by being able to sit just
off Skippy Heyden and ‘hipster’ Mitch to see out the first rep in 3.14
Was already blowing hard but basically repeated on the
return leg with Angus and Frenchman Dom pretty much on my heels the whole way. Pace dropped slightly on the 3rd
but was still holding well enough, and by the time the 4th came
around I was glad there were no more to do.
Happy with that and for the shorter reps thought I’d help
out Corky & Renee instead of overdoing it, although they both pushed the
pace holding close to 3.30s to cross out
in 1.46s
Times for the day, 3.14, 3.14, 3.17, 3.19, 1.46, 1.42, 1.47,
1.45
Bloody tough old session and many had the old ‘Wobbly Legs’ and
even more were on all fours at the end of the set. Had Angus Boyd even remark
that the 45 min progressive is far easier ?
I seemed to back up OK, and it makes me think perhaps that I
didn’t run hard enough after all on Sunday ?
Busy week ahead, and tomorrow we honour Mikey Conway with
his leaving drinks before he heads to Byron Bay. Looking forward to it and should
be a fun night, although after looking at my recent batch of photos from Sunday
evening and some of the people who will be attending I’m slightly worried about
who I’m hanging out with. Check them out.
Cheers
