In the future, they will talk of the 7th April 2015 and those hardy HuRTS few who fronted reps number 12, 13 and 14. Fifty showed up. Seven were left standing. They included Charlie "Warrior" Dalziell, Macca "Hardman" McClarnon, Angus "Knows What it Takes to Run Sub35" Boyd, Tom "TOMTom" Lee and Tom "Leading by Example" Highnam. And a few others I can't remember.
It was a fine day to start but after about 8 reps someone pointed out the ominous black clouds gathering over Western Sydney. On rep 12, it hit with the mother of all mini-storms coming over us. I was running blind with horizontal hailstones coming across and nearly ran into at least 2 or 3 people going the other way. Of course, at this point those SOBS like CT, Enda, J-Fen et al. had all upped-stumps and headed to the nearest coffee shop for their decaf coconut chai's.
Reps went (distance wise):
850m, 890m, 900m, 900m, 900m, 900m, 920m, 910m, 920m, 920m, 930m, 870m (super cell Cyclone Vinny coming through), 910m and 950m
900m is 3:20's. 920m is 3:15's. 950m is 3:09.
Solid session. Great to see Wildman back out there. Tucks and CT putting in last minute sessions before Buffalo Stampede at the weekend. I don't envy them that.
Warm up and down for 17km all up. This week will be my biggest of the year yet.

Recovery Tom?? Right now I'm feeling pretty bad considering the cyclone and that you doubled my number of reps.
Actually Rep 12 was the only difficult one the weather had calmed down considerably for 13 and 14...so it is probably likely that they will only talk about Rep 12 in the future and note that A SOB led them home through the biblical conditions....
60s Jack. You'd have fitted in well with the SOBS of the HuRT Squad with your 7 reps.
And it's true that Enda led home the 12th rep. In true SOB fashion, he was nowhere to be seen for the first 11 reps saving his energy for a burglar effort on the last!
