I could have been a detective

Thomas_Brady · February 13, 2021, 6:13pm

I’m hearing some potential ‘ground breaking’ news could break shortly. I’m trying to reach my man on the ground for confirmation… Stay tuned.

Hi @Bandage

That’s very impressive, your heart rate average suggests you were bursting yourself

Julio_Geordio · February 13, 2021, 6:19pm

Amazing what lads will do to one up a lad on the internet. Hon TB. Over to you @Bandage I’d say you won’t sleep a wink tonight

Thomas_Brady · February 13, 2021, 6:20pm

There’s no flat route near me… You can go up them or down them. It’s really less than a k of a decline but it’s split between 1st and 2ndk do looks like those two ks are all down hill but they aint.

But yeah, fuck @locke

Thomas_Brady · February 13, 2021, 6:20pm

The last k nearly killed me.

Thomas_Brady · February 13, 2021, 6:23pm

It’s all about the mental games… I went out yesterday and did a warm up run for today and logged it as a top effort. @Bandage, the butty little man , fell for it and came in giving it big licks… Lets see him knock a minute 10 off his time now with those big jowls catching the wind.

Some elevation on the first 2k @Thomas_Brady

Great running though

Bandage · February 13, 2021, 6:37pm

Well done, Bob. All I ever wanted was to unlock the potential you had inside yourself. I’m getting ready to prepare my Valentine’s weekend restaurant meal at home from Bang and I’d by lying if I said you hadn’t just put a bitter taste in my mouth.

@caulifloweredneanderthal, audit @Thomas_Brady’s offering please. Is there any way of figuring out who ran under his Strava log in today?

Thomas_Brady · February 13, 2021, 6:37pm

I live on top of a huge hill.

Bandage · February 13, 2021, 6:40pm

You don’t need to make excuses for running down a 5km hill, mate.

Thomas_Brady · February 13, 2021, 6:43pm

You’re right. The history will just say champion, nothing about hills.

Gman · February 13, 2021, 6:51pm

Yeah, fuck @Locke. I’m all on for downhill starts too!

caulifloweredneanderthal · February 13, 2021, 6:56pm

Didn’t @Locke take a big downhill start and blown up early in one of the summer challenges?

Great going @Thomas_Brady. Over to you @Bandage.

PS @fran will beat both of you.

caulifloweredneanderthal · February 13, 2021, 6:58pm

The 26’20 is clean @bandage

Viva @thomas_brady

caulifloweredneanderthal · February 13, 2021, 6:58pm

Edit . Actual time 26’19.

Locke · February 13, 2021, 7:02pm

I went 20m up Coach hill to about 3m altitude onto a flat track. And yes, I blew up. @Thomas_Brady ran down I would say at 40m altitude though he did finish on a slight uphill to his credit.

Bandage · February 13, 2021, 7:02pm

My race is run. I concede to @Thomas_Brady and congratulate him. There’ll be other lockdowns, other challenges. I’m going to lick my wounds and prepare for battles ahead.
