Tuesday - HuRTS 8 x 1km (off 2 minutes)

I forgot how tough 1km reps were! Met at Barangaroo, with a heap of people turning up right at the last second (and after as well). The odd reps were into a nasty headwind, but generally didn't notice the tailwind on the evens (as is always the case). There was a small group of us out in front consisting of myself, Crossy, Travis and Toby. I drafted Crosby for the odds, but both him and Travis stopped after five reps (I found this out after the fifth rep). This kind of left me solo for the remaining three (bar Simon running a very fast final rep). Times were very consistent, except for number 7 which was a bit of a blow out - 3:12, 3:09, 3:10, 3:06, 3:10, 3:08, 3:18 and 3:08 - averaging just under 3:10, so not too ad at all. Eight is a hell of a lot of reps, so it actually feels like you spend a great deal of the session holding back. A nice cooldown along the wharves with Barts (who did a great impersonation of Dave Criniti), Scotty and Toby (the former two doing a different session as they prepare for the Launceston 10 on Sunday). Just under 19km all up.
