tribute to gt

a tribute to the most colour coordinated athlete I know. Had the matching Boston Marathon 2011 shirt, shorts and shoes well before the race was won. did i mention one of the most loveable as well?

gt had a stellar winter. a series of smashing times at bbq steaks, some awesome paced efforts on thursday nights and a streak of form early in the season.

for me a highlight was in training breaking 5 minutes over 1500m and quite a few a whisker over.

gt took a small holiday to spain which delayed his progress a little. when he got back to race weight had that streak of form I spoke of.
14 October 800m 2:24
21 October 1500m 5:02
28 October 4x1500m relay with me 19:32
4 November 800m 2:23
11 November 2010 1500m 5:00

a very festive season, a heel issue and finding that elusive athletics/life balance
slowed gt over the latter part of the season and chose not to go to brisvegas.

has the talent to win medals at national level, especially in his pet event the 800m. we haven't seen the best of gt by a long way.

best wishes for a happy, prosperous and fit 2011 gtxx

Can't sleep, so I came out to have a snoop on the computer...

Found some very kind words from a very nice man, thank you Bruce !

I can honestly say that everything that I achieved over the last year is directly attributable to you and your fantastic method of bringing out the inner champion.

I am looking forward to starting the blocks off again, and am dearly looking at setting some new goals, which will include a few new lifetime PBs.

Better get back to bed, I am duty in a few hours at the Vets Handicap...

Goodnight and thanks once again for the very kind words, mate!
