2km warm up jog to Art Gallery. Singlet and shorts soaking despite only running 5 min kms. Bloody humid and it's 37C out there now. Wouldn't fancy doing the 5000m in these conditions tonight. Jog over to Rushcutters with Tucks, Ray, Todd, Phil W, Coops, Chris G, John C and a few others for the pyramid. Decide just to cruise it today because:
(a) had the Allens swimming carnival last night followed by a few too many Coopers Pale Ales at the Tilbury; and
(b) wanted to save something for Saturday morning.
Did the first lap in 89s (3:19's) so decided just to run them all at that pace. Reps went as follows:
1 lap: 89s
2 laps: 3:02
3 laps: 4:35
4 laps: 6:00
3 laps: 4:28
2 laps: 2:57
1 lap: 84s
Felt not quite comfortable but not too hard. Beautiful running surface, mown green grass with plenty of bounce.
I performed with distinction at the swimming carnival:
50m Backstroke: Last.
Partners race (freestyle): Last.
4 x 50m freestyle relay: My team last.
50m Breastroke: 3rd in the A Division.
My 50m breastroke was faster than my freestyle (and I almost had to be fished out of the pool in the backstroke). Had a good chat with Libby Trickett who was lovely.

Well done Tom, all that swimming i'm even surprised you made it to even get to the HuRTS session in time.
Was it true the navy ships in the bay had to get there spot torches out to help with the light for your last 50m? :)
