All talk leads to the sixfoot track

Well done to all the HuRT squad in the 6foot. Great performances by all the guys. It was no surprise that Tucks was the first of the squad home in 10th place in 3.42. Terence came home in 3.49, Tom in 3.53 and Ray in 3.57. Muz & Andy had great debuts 4.06 and Richard High who experienced pretty bad cramps in 4.25. The team were 2nd overall to a very strong Gramp's Army. That will be reversed next yr for sure...! Tom ran very well but Terence was a little stronger, looking at the splits the difference was basically the run down to Cox's river. Tom probably should of stayed with Terence from the start...anyhow it's only $50. Mr Conway wasn't keen on doubling up..offered up myself vs Terence or Tom in the Gold Coast and Conway was having none of it...! Tom has a very good account of the race...check out his blog. Very impressed by the winner Sleep Train...pretty apt name!
On Sat I got out for an easy 35 min run & 75 mins on Sunday. I ran into work this morning and ran home after work. At lunch I ran with the boys for 50 mins (Conway, Thurston, Durante, Clyde, Springer and Ben). Calf seems to be holding up well. Will continue to take it easy for the next week to ensure it's strong enough for the increased workload planned for April. Ben is heading off to the US for a mth to race on the track. Let's hope he continues his great form (5k 13.37 in Melbourne a few weeks back)
