Nicky: Days: 284 - 286 London Olympics

Nicky: Day 284 London by knickerscat at Garmin Connect - Details

Up to London to watch ladies tri, mara & of course have tickets for the gymnastics. What can I say. Loved the tri - had a pretty good spot so could see some of the swimming and good front row of the runners. I feel inspired to do another tri!! My trot was a slow affair dodging tourists! Awesome atomosphere though.

Ladies mara day! Good spot right on the turning point in front of the Tower of London! Again amazing atmosphere. My wee trot was again spent crowd dodging. It was done in 2 splits but unbeknown to me until I got home & downloaded the run, the satelites had not kicked on on the second part, so not my full run logged. Apologies but I cannot turn back the clock to redo!

Checked the watch properly today to ensure full trot logged.

All I can say about the Olympics is that I think this country has put on an amazing event. London looks fantastic & everyone is happy. It was great seeing all the union flags & flags from around the world being proudly displayed. We spent quite a bit of time in front of the large screen near Tower Bridge & the atmosphere was fantastic. We actually enjoyed being here more on Saturday night than being in the North Greenwich Arena for the gymnastics final! Seeing Mo Farah, Jess Ennis and of course Greg Rutherford all get gold was fantastic. Inspiring!!
