Well, I slept in this morning so that counted out a Manly Hardcore session. Then my watch failed to charge so that counted out a solo session following the RunCrew schedule. So turned up to find a huge HuRTs crowd, obviously full of January good intentions.
Tough session on the cards with 20mins of Domain Hills followed by the 4.8km Mrs Mac tempo. Made doubly hard by the fact it was 30C.
Nick Roberts, Hoey, Fats and Darren Moyle all shot off ahead up the hill while I just worked alongside Mikey Lichtwark knowing how tough this session is and how the hills catch up with you in the final 7-8 minutes. Pulled ahead of Mikey towards the end and just caught Fats and Darren but with Nick and Hoey about half a lap in front.
Then followed quite a long gap as we all desperately queued for water. I was pretty strict in setting people off for the tempo in 4:20, 4:00, 3:45 and 3:30 pace groups, but with only Nick, Fats and myself in the final group. Tried to hold on to Nick but he pulled ahead on the first hill at Mrs Macs. Was pretty tough doing the tempo in the heat but dragged myself around in 16:47 (pretty much on 3:30's). So the session was done and another in the bank.
3km cool down for 13km all up.
