Tuesday Intervals with Rocket Lockets

Big turn out today, some 16 at the meeting point and by the off on rep one there were pretty much 20 cats purring along.

After discovering the path was closed again beyond the humped bridge over the side canal (that's the 1200m point btw) the same session as last time was opted for. 3:30 on with 2:30 recovery four times followed by 8 times 30on 30off (4 out 4 back no recovery in the middle).

Through rep one I made a determined attempt to stay behind Karen to check the speed and not blow up from going too fast through rep one (good plan eh Simon?). Anyways the back group was particularly large today with Martin making a rare appearance at the canal. On the way back I was pleased to have jogged through the elite, which meant I was way behind the others in "my" group on rep 2 and 4, but kept with it on 1 and 3. Couple of times Karen and Sarah were kicking in turn through the reps to keep the boys at bay.

On the short ones I was pretty steady keeping up with Karen and Sarah - went past them on the last one, but got the distinct feeling they could have gone with me if they were bothered.

Felt good and fast. Was clearing more than 1km in the 3:30 so very pleased with that.

First Assembly League on Thursday so resting up for that.
