C2S

Firstly, stats from an easy 10km Thursday session are here
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/357674735.
Secondly, totally chuffed with a 3.05 minute pb at the C2S yesterday with a 54.43 official result. Great runs by all of the Hurt Squad with run of the day going to Laura with a 5th place overall. Also great results by Adam (58.40) having been injured for most of the year and Jim finally cracking the 70 minute mark with a high 68 and into the red group for next year. Stats for yesterday are at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/357674701.
Out for a very easy 10km with the squad today and stats for that at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/357674687

Wednesday Easy

Out for a nice easy one today as tapering for C2S with a decent crowd including MC, Mike Race, Big Sam and Clyde. Not sure what happened to the garmin - doesn't look like it started for the first couple of kms, so I suspect I did somewhere around 10kms. MC has calculated my C2S time as 55 flat, so will need to see if I can live up to expectations. Will do another easy on tomorrow and that will be it until Sunday.

Lane Cove 10km

A bit of a chilly start this morning but a decent crowd out for the Striders 10km Lane Cove run. This is a great C2S trial run course - should be able to do first 10kms of C2S in the same time as this race. Small crowd of Hurts runners at the start including Andy H, Young Timmy, James, Renee, Ellie, Emma and Big Sam. Went off hard for the first km - about 3.45 pace I think then pulled it back it bit for the hills on the next 4 kms and then pushed hard on the last 5kms which are always the fastest. Didn't feel that fresh on the hills but that might have been due to yesterdays run but still a pb over this course by 20 seconds and a boost for C2S. Some great results today - especially Emma who was flying - gave me a scare at Scribbly Gums - and did close to 40and Ellie who might just have snuck in under 40. Big Sam was flying with a 38.01. Stats for today are at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/352409230

Friday Easy One

Out for what I was hoping was a flat 7/8 kms to find just Big Sam, Tom and Barts at the start and a decision to do a lap of Centennial Park. Not sure this was the best prep for the Lane Cove 10km tomorrow but time will tell. Nice easy pace and felt it pretty easy on the hills up to Centennial which is hopefully a good sign for C2S. All up about 13kms and quite fortunate to have survived given Tom's lassez faire attitude to crossing roads. Stats for today are at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/352109990

Easy 7kms

A 1pm meeting interfered with the lunch run today so just did 7kms with Hurts. A big crowd for a Wednesday including MC, LF Charlie, Tom, Jit, Brendan and Adam. Stats from today at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/351152463 and looks like the Garmin went a bit askew around CQ.

5kmTT

Well a great night organised by Clyde at ES Marks and a good turnout with Tom, Barts, CT, Enda, Timmy, Brendan and another chap. Very happy with a new 5km pb of 18.46 - although I went out too hard for the first lap at 3.25 pace. Will load up stats but didn't hit the watch correctly so only registered 4.5kms. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/350631149
Think this will become a regular event now - great just to have a monthly event where I can track progress.
Did a 3km warm up and 2km warm down for about 10kms all up.

Monday Hurts

A big crowd out on a stunning Sydney day - must have been about 22C and about the same number of people - you can tell the C2S is around the corner. Usual suspects out today including MC, Laura, Tom, Big Sam and Dave Kane. Nice easy pace all the way round today and averaged 4.35 for the 10.5kms. Stats for today are at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/350115166.
Looking forward to Clyde's 5km TT on the track tomorrow night at ES Marks - hoping for a 5km pb and a sub 19.
