The 'Arras
G&T in the first pub, meet Duffy and the darts crowd is a full house. As always, marathon boys are in the pub andhave a quick catcup up.
Into a Mexican place for food (Tortilla) and a bucket of beer with a Burrito. Food done and Coleman calls up 4 more beers. They are awful and warm so he creates a big fuss with the waitress and we get 8 new beers. For some reason AC blags another beer as the beer comes up and we are already late for the darts!
Get to the o2, quick beer and we are half way through the first semi final. Hamilton is throwing nails at the board and Whitlock wins easy enough.
3 quick pints before the Taylor semi and were having a few bets and a good laugh. Were all pretty hammered by now and the banter is flying about.
2 pints during the Taylor semi and a couple of decent bets come home. We roll over for Whitlock on the handicap in the final, +4.5 leg headstart looks nice.
Halfway through the final the beer runs dry, 10pm shut off so we drink up and leave and watch the rest of the final in the pub outside the exit. Duffy knows Wades Mrs so we are hoping for a VIP pass but that doesn't materialise.
Scotty picks us up outside the o2, we head off to a little club Coleman knows. From here it's a blur. 5 / 6 beers in there (all bottles, they don't count) and then the journey back to Hertford trying to find a Kebab shop still open at 3am. Massive fail we just take an hour to get back. Bed at 3.30 / 4 ish and up at 7.30 to drive home.
So that explains yesterdays rest day! Biggest hangover for many a year and slept anywhere I could during the day.
Up this morning feeling much better. 40th BBQ later and I will be on the lemondae I reckon !!
Will try and run later, maybe 8 steady to keep my eye in. 14 tomorrow morning with DC and BRJ Tim for a half decent week with one major blip BUT I need to get to the track next week!
Off to Florida next Sunday, just about on schedule but I do want to come back with a really good base fitness (along with a top tan) :)
