| Great swim in the 100 fly! |
After the excitement and surprise of Paul, Karen and
Joanne’s visit, there was the necessity to focus on the next event. He swam
late in the morning and looked great. It was questionable as to whether he
would get a second swim but finished his second 50 very well with a season’s
best of 1:08.76.
He qualified 8th, the evening swim was faster!
1:07.96, just off his best time from 2 years ago of 1:07.74. This shows he is
in good form and peaking on Saturday for the 200 IM is the goal.

| A walk across the millenium Bridge |
The time between heats and finals goes slowly for parents.
For the swimmer there is the lactate test, the warm down, eat, rest then warm
up, massage and race again!

| New bridge Old St Pauls |
Deborah and I took the opportunity to visit the Globe
Theatre, getting standing tickets to see part of As you like it. The venue and
actors were riveting! Just next door is the Tate Moderne, frankly the exhibits
not as well done as in Berlin, but we can say we were there. Last year when we
were here the millennium bridge had been completed but not opened due to too
much swaying! It was stable today as we walked to St. Pauls Catedral, pausing
for a brief nap on the lawn beside the church. We were both drained from the
emotions of the morning I suppose.
A quick tube ride back to Olympic Park, a light Greek meal ,
some shopping and back for finals. One more race to go!
Tomorrow a day trip for us to Oxford.
