The word got out during the week that Ultra Triathlete, the GC pole dancing superstar Timmy was joining the esteemed 6:20am group. We had more people front up than Julia Gillard's approval rating just for a look at the lycra on show.
The run started at the Rocks under the Bridge pylons at Dawes Point and went through Millers Point, along Hickson Rd where Binfield and Tim tried emulating Tom by putting in some 2:59/k splits. We crossed Darling Harbour and ran through Pyrmont, Ultimo, Central Station, Haymarket and up to Hyde Park.
Then it was on through Woolloomooloo and Kings Cross, and down to Rushcutters Bay. Tim and Binfield thought it was a HURT session again and were doing reps around the toilet block. Georgie was not impressed and went short. Then it was uphill through Elizabeth Bay, Potts Point and along to Mrs Macquarie's Point.
I lost Tim and Binfield here as the 15 of us splintered and the HURT boys were seen practicing gate to gate reps. They have to learn control at 6:20. There were thoughts of banning them both to 6:10 as they run too fast for us. After that we settled down and ran around the Opera House and Circular Quay before crossing the Coat Hanger and the little trip to Kirribillia and Kurraba Point. Then back to the finish at the Rocks.
Total was 30.21ks in 2:26:31. Average pace of 4:50 per klm. Timmy was last seen pedalling his bike crazily through the Rocks Markets searching for English Breakfast twining's tea.
It was a big group today. Tim, JB, Sean, Georgie, Luke Skyrunner, Action, Fats, Highwayman and a few others I've forgotten. Even son of Action Chris made an appearance.
P.S Late mail on C2S is sub 52 males and sub 56 females preferred. If I don't make sub 52 then the goal is Keith Bateman's 53:07 from 2003 when he was young and slow in the 45-49 age group.
