Its Getting Better All The Time
I didn't have a good session at Pat's yesterday .... I had a great session :-) We had 2 x 5 minute surges through the back of The Gardens, and then hill reps up the steep grassy slope at the River Stage.
In the surges I gave it everything I had, and was rapt that the only girl in front of me was Glenda. Okay, so she was that far in front I needed binoculars if I actually wanted to see her. Still, just going by the people who were around me and just ahead of me I knew that I was doing well. The recovery was short and not too sweet. Turning at 2 1/2 minutes on the second surge I was almost at the same spot I got to within about 10 meters of where I did in the first one, so there was only a tiny bit of a fade factor.
Then it was on to the hill reps. After 5 minutes of them I thought I heard Pat say last one so I busted a gut. Next thing I hear "just a few more minutes" .... argh! Altogether it was about 10 minutes, I don't recall ever spending so long on that steep little hill.
I came away knowing I'd put in 100%, and was more than happy with the results.

You gave me the word, I finally heard. I'm doing the best that I can. Too.
So it's a date on 3 June 2007 for sub 90s all round?
Goooooooo Tessooooooo.
You had to admit it.
UMMM Tess what's happening on 3 June 2007???? Is there a race that you and speedygeoff are doing that I am not including on? WHAT!!!!!
Just imagine how good you will go on Tuesday after a few days of rest (from running) at GH this weekend.
Glad to hear it Tesso - just the sort of posting I want to read on my comeback!
Well done mate ;-)
Thats great tess.... you work so hard! It is nice to hear you sparking again!!!
I'd say that finishing 10mins of reps on that hill would classify as 'things getting better' too.
Yeeeeeeeeehah! Great to see good training happening on this blog. Keep it up.
All that ITB trouble seems to be a distant memory.
YOSSHHH!!
Must be the Coronas.
Wheeeeeeee
Woohoo.
(blog comments getting shorter all the time, and in my case, better)
You were in great shape when I saw you in the C2S, Tesso, so not surprised to see you chewing up those hills. Really nice work and just love that attitude.
Fabtastic Tesso!
After the weekend, The Dragons are looking better all the time too, as those pretenders the Broncos will soon discover.
