What a Weekend

I will remember this weekend for the rest of my life. It started wiith Lisa Norden in the closest finish ever in the women's triathlon - Lisa used to train with our Spottidog triathlon squad when she was out in Sydney as a teenager. It was just fabulous to see her doing so well in the Olympics - and I did beat her once in a track run! Then to wake up to watch the 10000m and cheer on Benny, to find out about Jess and Greg, then see Mo Farah run a sensational race and take out another gold made me very proud to be British. The womens 100m was another excellent race, followed by the womens marathon last night - great finish by the Ethopian and very impressed with the Russian who came in third. A great result for the aussie girls and extreme respect for Willis who ran a 2.49 while injured for the whole event. Got up to watch Bolt do the business in the 100m and then got the best news of the weekend in that Andy Murray got gold over Federer - watch him go now, I reckon he will take out a Grand Slam in the next year. All of this puts my hard 7km run into perspective this morning but a stunning run from Bondi back to Clovelly and tried to push the hills hard.
