Compatriate Braveheart emerged severely shaken and bruised in this week's 5k extravanza of sporting talent at QE 2 when he failed to move aside quickly enough when lapped by his illustrious team mate who was attempting to scale Olympian heights and break a long standing Master's record . " He deliberately impeded me and cost me the record ," a clearly unimpressed McSweeney stated after the race . " How he managed to get into the race I don't know . I reckon the robot put him up to it . That crazy cybornetic misfit was always baulking me as well and I'd lap him 2 or 3 times even in a 3k which costs you big time when you're after records . Just when I thought I'd seen the end of him my own kinsman , who was like a son to me , pulls off this cheap trick . Well the gloves are off for May 2nd . No more Mr.Nice Guy." When asked why he had refused a certain champion female's invitation for pacing duties the man whose worshipped in Katmandu as a living God explained that , " You have to be selfish sometimes . I'm not a pacing service . Let's face it I got pretty disillusioned ( and burned ) with all that Lusty Lucy crap last year and I need to stay focused for May 2nd . Barry , God bless him . is sponsoring the event again this year and isn't sparing any expense . Some call him the great survivor , I just call him Sir . Claire can run as well that day and I'll pose for a picture with her at the breakfast extravanza afterwards but as for pacing just forget it sweetheart . " As for his next target McSweeney clearly has the Aussie 10k record in his sights for this Thursday night . " Ronnie was and still is a legend," enthused the Scotsman , " so breaking his record will be emotional for me. Maybe Bazza could give him some consolation prize on May 2nd at Minnippi if we can get him to come . It's good to see Ronnie's back and I know he'll be as pleased as punch when I smash that record . Hopefully I won't get baulked by slower runners this time or they'll at least pull out into lane 8 when I pass them . It's just common courtesy ."
