London 2012 Olympics - Episode 4 to 8 - typos fixed :-)

And breathe.......

It's all over and I cannot believe it.  I think I am now official depressed even though I am totally inspired by all the amazing feats of sporting greatness I have witnessed over the past two weeks. There is just way to much to go through and write about in this little blog but here are a few of my highlights:


  • Seeing Mo Farrah win the 10 000 meters LIVE.
  • Jess Ennis winning the Heptathlon and being there in the stadium for the final 800m event LIVE
  • Seeing Wiggo win the Time Trial LIVE
  • Seeing Alistair and Jonny run past us to win Gold & Bronze in the men's triathlon LIVE
  • Watching the USA indoor men's volleyball team play right in front of me LIVE - my adolescent dream team
  • Watching the road cycling winner & pelaton come past us at 70kph, so close we could touch them.
  • Singing God Save the Queen with 80 000 people from all over the world as Jess Ennis cried on the podium while receiving her Gold medal. 

It truly was a once in a life time experience and I am eternally grateful that we were part of it.

All I have to do now is get my run time under 30 mins for 10km & I can join the Brownlee bros and Richard Murray in Rio.  You have to keep dreaming hey :-)
