Lack of discipline and arithmetically challenged

Great session tonight everyone got stuck into the 100's and although it seemed like a lot, when I opened my mouth and the main set popped out, it went over pretty quickly. I was holding 85's/86's without much bother.

I did find it easier to draft off the back of the guys lane rather than lead the second lane (thanks Matt the Cash), but I must say there was a worrying lack of discipline in the lane, and that doesn't include the arithmetically challenged Proudy being unable to count to 12 (well he's only got 10 fingers you know).

All the guys kept stopping before the wall and standing up, so I reckon I was only swimming about 98 metres per repeat. It was like being back in the junior squads when such a heinous crime as standing up before hitting the finish would be met by a roar from the coach and the mantra "Gold medals hang on the wall" which I'm not sure if that was really true but as a kid I believed it. The screaming would probably be classified as child abuse or bullying now.....
