The Quest for Registration Nirvana Part II

Thursday 25th September.  Ok I know you're desperate to learn the outcome of Binge's attempts to become a Category 2 swimmer before the closing date for entries to the Nationals.

Well my Facebook message worked and EMSC 3.0 came through with a telephone number for Gateshead's registration officer, so I sent her a text explaining my dilemma.

Obviously emboldened by my (self) promotion into lane 1 on Monday, I felt that I should keep up the pressure and moved into Lane 2 during the public Masters session. This courageous move was despite the fact that I had read the white board and knew that the 100's were off 1:45 which I managed pretty well getting over 20 seconds rest for most of them.

Still haunted by the fact that the computer said no........
