After Christmas I was talking to the elder kids about representing their school and both said they wanted to get through in cross country. We started training on 1 Jan and have been out 3 days a week every week since then. Billy has only missed 4 sessions and Bec just the 1. Today Billy had his school xc and finished 2nd, 3m behind the winner. It's a great result and revenge will be had at District. Bec goes on Thursday.
Today was 2 x 20mins with the HuRT Squad off 3mins break. Legs felt really heavy to start with and I was struggling running 3:30's trying to hold on to Fats and Tucks. Scotty and Bartles were well ahead. Things improved after 3km and I bridged the gap Tucks had formed to finish with him, about 12s behind the front two.
Felt much better on the return but Bartles, Scotty and a marauding Macca had caught us by Circular Quay. We then ran with them although Scotty soon dropped off and Macca was only doing 3km reps. I pushed the hills back home to get back in 19:41 (averaging 3:21's) including 9:50 for the final gate to gate - very quick. Tucks and Bartles were right behind. John will go very well on Sunday - I'm predicting 32:40.
Great to catch up with Big Sam and good to see MC and Young Timmy back out again. The English are starting their fight back in true Bulldog spirit!
