To answer a few questions before I start;
2P - Up here in Brisvegas we have sporties on Thursday, other places do have their sports days on Wednesday however. Work can supply bikes only of the mountain variety but, most of us have our own.
Matt - Yes we get paid for this, it does sound sweet however I only ever talk about the good perks ;-)
Ewen - Ha, tumble turns, more like floundering around trying grasp onto the edge before pushing off. I am not built for the water that is a fact :-)
The fun police were out in force today at work when the rumour that the Divisional Commander was visiting the regiment. All the heirachy seem to freak out and want everything cleaned, packed and hidden when people visit. The point for this still escapes me, the purpose of the visits is to find out the downfalls the brigade has, so when we are told to do this the first impression the boss(s) get is that everything is sweet. For the other 364 days that he is not around the workshop is a shit hole, a run down facility that needs some lovin.
Anyway, he just so happened to visit when sport was programmed for so... it doesn't take einstein to work out who lost the battle.
No triathlon, I was keen for some fitness activity which meant I showed my face at the track for the first time is about 6 months. I really enjoy the grass track but with work and Cass's study and her work is hasn't been a possibilty.
Phil the coach who usually runs the session was late so Schultzy decided on the format. Not much imagination but tough nonetheless. 4 x 1K with a short breather and a 200m jog recovery. I got a bit more rest as I was the last person off the handicap which suited me just fine.
The body felt great the whole session, however the lungs hurt abit especially on the 3rd rep. That was to be expected, however I didn't count of doing the times I posted.
1km Times
#1 - 3.21
#2 - 3.24
#3 - 3.35
#4 - 3.30
Hopefully in the next few months I can get these down below 3.20 and be able to link 3.30 - 3.40 k splits for some 3 and 5k events, I am probably getting to far ahead of myself now but hey one can dream.

LOL if it moves salute it if it doesn't paint it!
Mate those are some honkin 1k reps - great work.
Well done there Shane! Those are some great splits :-).
Your recent rests (forced) have gone down well.
Hey, my workmate Tom was there last night too! He was running around 4:20s for his reps. The bugger is getting faster. I'm getting worried. Anyway, he said there were a couple of speedy guys there, obviously you were one of them!
They do the cleaning, packing and hiding thing at my work too - very strange.
You'll be doing 5 in 3:20 or faster before long. Just keep at it. Good for 'folks who are dumb with maths' too, as it's only 20 seconds per 100 metres!
Dream on Shane! "everything begins in the heart and mind" as they say and with those sort of 1K times you have good reason to be confident.
Shane, that happens everywhere, middle management with no balls, no intelligence, brown nosing to superiors (superiors in rank/position, not in character).
You should see some of the s... that happens where I work and what senior mangement are told by middle management.
I'm in awe of your 1km times Shane - 3.30min/km pace is my max. speed over a 30sec sprint interval right now! Great stuff!
Bummer about missing out on the tri. Still, the closest thing I get to sport in my job is walking to the loo!!
MAR.
As an ex Air Force guy I know exactly what you were going through there Shane with work. Frankly it is a real indictment of leadership that management, whether in the services or the private sector, don't see through the gloss and identify the real problems. Those further down the chain need to be strong enough too to speak out when need be.
As the others have said, those splits are awesome. Well done mate!
