Got at least two more flats on the way home, until my hand pump could no longer keep up with the leaks. Guess who had to walk about a mile in road shoes with SPD-SL plastic cleats?
Don't let this happen to you. Carry a sealed unopened tube of patch glue if at all possible, and check the tube often if you don't.
This is normal, You can get away from these problems by either replacing the patch kit glue once a year or more easily, getting glueless patches. I haven't had any problems with the glueless patches failing to adhere though I haven't tried fixing a flat with them in the rain.
