Taking the plunge

The start of the mens 400m Individual Medley heat 1 at the Aquatic Centre tonight.
We had tickets for the evening session so we set off mid-afternoon to walk down to the tube station. So fortunate to live here - just 20 mins later we were in the park. Truly an amazing place and an outstanding British achievement. The security staff, police, army and volunteer helpers were extremely courteous, friendly and efficient, and there was plenty of space to wander around the park. The gardens and flower beds were phenomenal too. Although our seats were up in the gods, we got a good view of all the action and witnessed several finals, medal ceremonies and even a new world record.
Next event is a hockey session on monday morning. An early start but bring it on!
