HuRTS 5min reps

8 x 5mins off 90 seconds. Big HuRTS crowd today including Charlie, Serg, Durante, Kanser, Muz, Springer, MC, Enda, Greg, Tim C, Ray, Dicky H, RMR. In fact, easier to identify people by their absence, the notable absentees being Tucks and the Judge.

We were flying today. We started off pretty quick and then ramped it up. This was mainly because Serg and Durante were putting some effort in. How Durante only managed to run 34:17 on Saturday, God only knows. The bloke must be the world's softest racer. I think Kanser needs to have words and explain that it's supposed to hurt when you run a race. Serg leaped forwards today, getting back to form. He completed the session (for once) and had 30 yards on me on the final rep before I clawed it back just before we finished. I had us running over 1.6km over the final rep which is well under 3:10 per km. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1689559

Warm up and warm down for about 15km all up.

Tom,
It's all about peaking for Durante, I was very happy with his performance on Sat. He will build on that in June at N Head and have a very good race sub 33 in Gold Coast. It will be a very interesting race between u guys at North Head in Sept. I expect to collect my $50 after that race.

Kanser - your dreamin'. Your bloke's too soft. Can't cope with the pressure. That's why he came 4th in the National 800m final after running the fastest semi.

Dave - HuRTS stands for "Hickson Road Training Squad". You can read all about it in the latest edition of "The Blister" on the Sydney Striders website - www.sydneystriders.org.au/Blister - nice photos of Tucks and Uncle Dave on the front too. The large beer session is the Sydney Striders awards night for which the HuRTS squad have reserved a table of ten. No doubt we'll see how soft Durante is then too.

Very pleased to have beaten DrJH but of the >40's Richie Roberts is the man to beat...
