Training - Day 79

I've used this blog many times to complain about other gym-goers and see no reason why that should change but before that, here's the background story. I got to the gym this cold morning at 6:45. I had a jumper on but thought that the gym actually felt a bit warmer this morning so decided I didn't need it. I settled down to do some weights and apart from a fire drill (didn't have to leave or anything) it was all pretty non-eventful. There was just one other in the gym and she left just as I finished the last set. So, next was stretching. Unfortunately, these mats are quite close to a fire door which doesn't fit too well so it was a little cooler here. Right behind the mats are the rowing machines - well, behind and up, they are on a platform. So, to recap, door - mats - row of rowing machines - empty gym. Empty that is until some bloke came in and sat on a rowing machine. I was at one end of the mats so did he choose a rowing machine at the other end? No. He picked the one right above my head. So, not only was it inconvenient as he was exercising unnecessarily close to me, the spinning wheel was blowing cold air all over me. Mid stretch, I sat bolt upright and in my best Colin Firth acting style looked all the way down the line of mats. I then made a point of looking at the bloke and then down the whole line of running machines. Sadly, I then shook my head from side to side, got up and went to the mat at the far end. He only lasted a couple more minutes on the rower - I like to think that it was the shame that sent him off - good!!!
