Wasn't training fun last night? Muggins here decides the running bit can wait while we practise our starts. A sizable minority rebels and heads off into the wild gray yonder, soon to experience at first hand the full sound and fury of the storm when it hits. The rest of us line up to demonstrate that we already know how to sprint up hill from a standing start without taking a backward step. In no time we are racing over the hill to our cars. In the end, the only backward step is taken by Colin halfway up the hill: he turns back in the drenching rain and shouts to Amanda, "give me the keys!".
By the way, many people have quoted Louis XV who, on his deathbed, said "Après moi, le déluge". Notable among them is Roger Bannister, when he became the first person to break the four minute mile.
Another quote I like is Mark Twain's "It is better to be silent and thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt." Nevertheless I continue to write this dribble!
