The Return of the King
6.30am, 6 * 400m, Centennial Park
A nice return to a shortened program on the oval with Sean. There was a cast of thousands out there this morning. I think I saw Mr Lulu counting them all. I did not know about half the people.
For a change I felt fresh and fine for the warm ups, and then I was a bit flat during the repetitions. I only had to do 6 reps so no need to hold much back for the later reps. No real surprises on the flatness after the lay-off. It is funny how these races like six foot can play havoc with your training performance.
400 m rep. times were roughly between 1.22 - 1.17. Royworlds looked like he'd been doing secret training again.
Thanks to Kit for the photo taken by Ray at six foot track at about the 44.5 km mark. I had a very focused look on the face as I was thinking 'don't fall over', and mentally calculating, not the finish time, but the queue for the hot showers.
And I promise my blog will contain less references to six foot after a couple more months.

Did you get a rapturous round of applause at your return. I hope you let Mr lulu play at the front for at least one lap.
Ok where's the photo then?
I would have thought nothing less than a tickertape parade would have been in order.
Seriously though - maybe you should consider giving up racing if it is going to interfere with your training like that.
I was looking for a Paul Arthur reference. I'm helping Sat at Striders as well. Very twisty course so heaps of helpers needed. See you there mate.
We didn't want to overwhelm you so held off with the ballons and party hats ;-) Seriously woo hoo to see you back!! Nice running for a recovery!!!
You've got about a month of Six Foot references left - after that, we don't want to hear another word about it ;-)
BTW, I don't snore!!!
