well, last night didn't go the way we wanted, not sure what i can say but we didn't have the race we wanted in the relay, our first athlete lost control and crashed and we had 2 other bad changes as well, to finish well outside the medals in 4th place with China breaking world record.
The night did however finish ok, in very heavy rain i managed to have a good win in my heat of the 400mt, so im happy today with a rest day, i get to get out of the village for a few hours to relax and then rest up for the final on thursday night a 8.45
well till next time keep an eye out for me.
Well we made it to the final of the relay, we won our heat, with china breaking the world record in the other and beating the paralympic champions Thailand in the process. We are all happy that we got through, there is lots of improvement need to do well tonight we had the worse changes ever so if all goes well tonight we should do ok. We race at 5.45 Beijing time and later on tonight i have the 400 heat, i am heat 1 in lane 4.
Well tonight is the night, all the hard work over the last few years comes down to this, the start of a long week of racing. Tonight we have a good heat of the relay so hopefully everything goes well and we make the final and then we are in for a shot for a medal.
Well last night was the opening for the games, all i can say is wow, china really do now how to do an event, everything was very very well done and was a great night. There was very little sitting around before we went in and we were home 15mins after it finished, we thought it was fantastic that the march was at the start of the opening so we able to watch the whole thing from on the ground. Now i have a rest day and then the comp start with the relay heat on monday night.
well i have spent my first few days in beijing, with constant team meeting and media events, and then trying to relax for the rest of the time doesn't allow for much else. As the days have gone on more and more athletes have arrived so we have all been catching up with each other and seeing where everyone was in camp. Everyone is well and looks fit. I have managed to get out of the village twice, once to the temple of heaven and then to go shopping. the village is the best ever and everything is running very well, there is nothing wrong at all which is fantastic. Now for the opening tonight.
