Inadvertently found myself putting in a few kilometres of extra training this morning when the permanent closure of the local petrol station conspired with an on-going cash flow crisis.
A slight hiccup on the level road was a prelude to the Daihatsu grinding to a halt on the first of the incline separating the now stationary vehicle from the Esso Garage on the other side of the hill.
Leaving the car behind I rather welcomed the opportunity to set off at a purposeful pace through the rain, in truth I'd actually been neglecting the running part of preparation for the upcoming triathlon this Sunday.
The overall performance wasn't too promising, particularly on the return run with a gallon container of diesel in one hand. This saw me grinding to a halt on the first of the incline separating me from the still stationary vehicle on the other side of the hill...

Should should have partaken of a little sip of diesel before the return leg.
You mean get tanked up?
