Flat Saturday

If morning training wasn't bad enough; our session got bumped from Dunstan to Gateshead Leisure Centre, because of a kid's gala. The drawback was it started at 7am, an hour earlier than normal.

Nevertheless, still full of enthusiasm (just a slight exaggeration) I rolled out of bed and into a freezing cold morning (-4 degrees) and 10 minutes down the road, the 2012 Bingemotor jinx struck as the car developed a flat tyre.

Surprisingly I huddled in the car while Bob gallantly fought with the replacement. The catastrophe meant we were about half an hour late for the session but as there were only 3 swimmers in the pool we had a lane each and I bashed through a fairly unimaginative set, but covered 3.4k in less than an hour
