Aquaman to the rescue.....

Cycling to work this week so far has proved to be very interesting! As I was leaving for work on monday morning it was raining a little bit, but not too much, so I zipped up my nice shiny new-ish waterproof jacket and set off.
Well, by the time I reached work I was absolutely drenched. The coat did it's stuff but unfortunately everything else drowned. My feet had got so wet my toes had wrinkled!! As for my jeans, they absorbed so much water that after a point they could absorb no more and it ran freely down my legs straight into my shoes!!
After 8 hours against an electric heater the jeans were dry enough to wear so I decided to cycle home again.
I couldn't understand why the journey home felt so difficult, I felt really tired and laboured under the task, until that is I turned off the main road and realised I'd been cycling into a head wind for 3 miles! The last 2, with the wind behind me, raced by.
