Thursday Pat Speed Session. It was raining so the 20 odd of us that turned out was pretty good considering!
Did the long warmup at some incredible pace. Had some new eye candy (male) join the group and he and Pat headed out FAST! Found out he is a really nice guy David, who is a professional triathlete.
After the warm up and run throughs (strides) realised Chundachick had not come back from her loo visit. So instead of the required 2.5min sprint out and 2.5 min sprint home I sprinted 2.5 then went looking for her. Nowhere.... Headed back to the group in time for the next 2.5 sprint out (damn missed the 1min recovery) and then back again.
Following this Pat had a do 8 reps of the Goodwill bridge and decided to give a big pep talk about how todays session - digging deep today, would be what gave you that sub 3hr marathon. That got about 90% of the group moving!
The last one kills - up and over all the way to the Ship Inn.
Mr. Eye Candy then ran the warm down with me. Someone ought to tell him that you can't run so fast when your'e new. Got to start at the bottom of the ladder and work your way up. Must be such a great triathlete if his running is so good and that's his weak section.
Missed Tesso today but I live in hope that she is doing her bit in Sydney to show them how good us Brissy runners are. (well hopefully they will think we all run as fast as she does!)

I see you're volunteering for search party duties again. Lucky you didn't have Tesso with you this time as I remember her pushing you quite hard coming back from looking for Don. We will look after Tesso down here for you and send her back in one piece (almost anyway). From reading something earlier about the Brissy Cool Runners down here for 5km challenge on Saturday, Tesso isn't the one we need to worry about. Are Flash Andy and Casper the others here with her? We are eagerly awaiting Andy having a crack at the Bay Challenge to see if he can break the record. I'm sure you will read about it in the blogs and on the board.
