Today was the easy Monday route (16km) in about 68mins with a big crowd including Kanser, Indrajeet, KiltedScot, JW, Georgie Moore and very happy to see Laura joining us for an easy 30mins in a tentative return from injury. Pace picked towards 4min kms at the end. Feeling more confident. Back is feeling better now I've been stretching my ridiculously tight hip flexors and no aggro from hamstring recently.
Enda is our main Irish protagonist. Never fully committed to running due to some strange affinity with triathlons, but very handy nonetheless. I wouldn't know Enda's PB's (I'm guessing low 34 for 10km, high 1:15 for a Half) but you can usually find him one place behind fellow Irishman POD and one place in front of fellow Irishman Kanser. Prone to illness but his real strengths lie in Timmy-baiting and at the bar. One of the few who'll still be ordering when I head home/pass out. Always gets his excuses in early but, bless him, was gracious in handing over the Churchill/Sands trophy as Irish captain following the English/Irish competition at the SMH Half. He'll be doing the same again following the JPMorgan Challenge. Never an angry word has crossed his lips. An all round good bloke.

Thanks Tom what an honour to make the blog...and before Timmy too - all the better!
My PB's are 34:37 for 10km (Homebush 2008), 1:16:04 (Gold Coast 2009) and 2:49:20 (Auckland 2011).
I am focusing on running only next year to get those times down so no more excuses!
Of course Timmy is going to be served up last! I cant wait for his epitaph - An all round ?????? ????
Kanser might be hurt at not being HuRTS 'main Irish protagonis't but I guess with Kansers soft Dublin accent and Enda's hard Connaught tones you see it differently ;-)
