Well well, you don't really need me to update as 'the voice of reason' aka Enda and Triple T (3T) - Trash Talk Timmy keeps everyone informed of my lack of training over the last two weeks.
With a dodgy ankle & the flu in the last week, my prep for tomorrow's race has been far from ideal. The good wife was away last weekend but I did get an opportunity to get out on Sat for a 400 session (8 by 400 in 75 secs off 1 min) and on Sunday I got out for a 20k run thanks to Chalks looking after the kids. On Monday I didn't feel the best with the manflu returning.
As reported on Enda's blog, I ran a 3k time trial on Wednesday. If I ran sub 10 mins, I would go to the Gold Coast...well i ran 10.16 so I am now fronting up to Homebush for a classic head to head against the best racer on the planet Mr Conway. I had a strategy off-site yesterday but got out for a easy 5k followed by some strides. Today i just went for an easy 8k. On form, I should be around 90 secs behind Conway but I'm hoping form book goes out the window and I outsprint him to put another $20 in Tom's back pocket.
Tom will need it as it's extremely likely he will lose a lot of cash in the Gold Coast. I'm not going to predict any time as Tom and Timmy's times are pretty close to what i think everyone will run but i do think Tucks will run over the top of Lara. Best of luck to everyone up there and please look after Timmy on Sunday arvo as we all know what he's like when he starts drinking at 11am in the morning.
