The Tourists Part 5

21km wharves route with MC, Big Sam, LF Charlie, KiltedScot, Jeet, Kaley, Jesse, BW and Quentin making an appearance before he flies out tomorrow. 4:37 pace. Right knee sore but massage today helped.

Next Tourist has to be Young Timmy.

Current form: To be determined. Finally injury free and starting to string together some long runs and log the kms. Did 45km over the weekend but a disappointing 5km TT last night knocked his confidence a bit. Still, he's bounced straight back with the spirit needed by logging the kms today, pencilling in the notoriously painful 1.2km reps tomorrow and helping me out by offering to run the Short Course XC at Rydalmere on Sat. This will stand him in good stead and I'm confident it will all come together soon - the average km times for his long runs suggests so.

Most likely to: Get us all into a mass brawl.

Predicted time: The boys said 2:53. I'll stick with that.

I coughed up my corn flakes on opening this post!
Remind me why we call him Young Timmy?
Those boyish good looks are starting to fade and is that a hint of grey hair?

Timmy is the oldest Tourist by a considerable margin but he is a 15 yo boy trapped in an old mans body
