Too many kids duties this morning so went out at lunch and managed to persuade Timmy to change the HuRTS session to my scheduled session. Really big crowd (holding it down at Barangaroo helps) and with Crossy, Nick R and the bearded chap to chase there was plenty of support upfront.
Went out hard as I was keen to test myself for the first time since London. Crossy did the same thing and I only inched ahead in the final 100m. Similar story for rep 2 where I had to work bloody hard to get past him. Rep 3 and he slowed as did my time as the legs were getting lactic. Managed to hold it together for rep 4. Times went:
2:56, 2:54, 3:00, 2:59.
All off a rolling 5mins. That's very quick and I wonder about the accuracy of the distance. But all the GPS watches had it on the km and we weren't running in circles.
Then the 500m reps off a rolling 3mins. I struggled on the first to turn the legs over with Crossy gapping me quite a bit (having sat out of the final km rep). Better on the second rep finishing well. Struggled on 3rd then same again running solo on the last. Times were:
1:30, 1:26, 1:30, 1:25
My legs are now absolutely buggered. I gave it all today and have been pretty rooted all afternoon.
Great to see Andy back in the thick of things and there's a few fresh faces who are starting to get pretty quick.
4km warmdown with Macca for 13.5km all up.
