Over to Rushcutters for more 400's with Enda, Andy, Tucks and workmate Matt (who I'm trying to get fit for JPMorgan). Turns out Matt is much quicker than I had thought, staying with Andy and Enda running 73/74's then putting in a 65 on the final rep. Suddenly feeling much more confident about JPMorgan now. I ran about 1 sec behind Tucks for each rep running 69/70's with a final rep of 64. Just about kept the hammie under control.

LJ is HuRTS girl #1. In fact, with a 36:xx 10km PB and a Half PB of 80:xx, she keeps most of the blokes on their toes too. She also knows how to win races, which is much harder than it sounds, taking out the JPMorgan win last year among numerous Striders 10kms. She's a regular on the ANSW scene (and bakes a mean scone). On top of all that, she can hold her beer despite only weighing about 45kg. But that's because she's from the Shire. An all round top chick.
