3:30am??!!! Why!??!

TheDoctrineOfEnnis · 10/08/2012 21:24

I think we are out of the relay Sad

HmmThinkingAboutIt · 10/08/2012 21:24

Event starts at 9.30. Its a 3hr 10 journey. We have to be there for park and ride at 7!

I want to cry.

notyummy · 10/08/2012 21:29

Thanks Hmm!
Hope you have an amazing time tomorrow. That is an early start ....

TheDoctrineOfEnnis · 10/08/2012 21:32

7 is very early for the park and ride, did you have to book a slot? It's a 1km or so walk from the buses to the gate as well, in case you have little ones.

ReelAroundTheOrbit · 10/08/2012 21:39

I would be wary of getting there too early. I went to the rowing there last week and we arrived for 9am and there were no significant races until around 10.30. Before that it was the races for places 14-26 or something. It was very, very boring. Check out the order of all events. I can't see why you need to be at park and ride so early? Though admittedly I was on the train and so have no clue Grin

EightiesOlympicGolds · 10/08/2012 22:14

Early start notwithstanding, have a great time at Eton Dorney, Hmm!

lubeybooby · 11/08/2012 06:35

Mornin' all

Thanks again Hmm you are a star. Hope you have a great day :o Thanks

RaahhningforGOLD · 11/08/2012 09:25

Hope you're having a great day hmm despite the early start.

Looking forward to seeing if Tom can improve on yesterday, And mighty Mo can repeat last weeks successTorch

notyummy · 11/08/2012 09:45

Gold!!!!! Well done Ed. Hope you enjoyed that Hmm.

RaahhningforGOLD · 11/08/2012 09:54

yay!Gold for Ed, definitely a great day for hmm to be there!Torch

am watching the vt with Nicola Adams- such a lovely woman. I might not appreciate boxing , but she is a fantastic role model for young girls, so positive and down to earth. It's making me cry (not helped by the fact the are playing the them tune from 'The Mission' in the background, one of my favourite films and soundtracks)

Kveta · 11/08/2012 10:04

well done Ed!

off to the modern pentathlon today, can't wait! just the bit in greenwich though.

RaahhningforGOLD · 11/08/2012 10:06

I love the modern pentathlon, have a great day kvetaTorch

Vagaceratops · 11/08/2012 10:06

GB are out of the mens 4x100 relay after running out of their lane, and not passing the baton in the correct area of the track.

RaahhningforGOLD · 11/08/2012 10:09

eek- very close to the board that bloke in the diving...

lubeybooby · 11/08/2012 11:27

Rahh I'm watching from behind a cushion, it's scarier than any horror film! I love it when they do the ones that make them jump right away from the board and I can actually breathe :o

TheDoctrineOfEnnis · 11/08/2012 11:28

35 mph when hitting water, yikes!

TheDoctrineOfEnnis · 11/08/2012 11:41

Yay Tom!

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 11/08/2012 14:45

Eek the Russians are catching us up - please let them not get ahead in the medal table!

RaahhningforGOLD · 11/08/2012 15:03

oh no! quick, we need medals!
Hopefully Mo Farah can win. Have we got boxing medals to come? Are they tomorrow?

I'm going to miss the OlympicsSad

OhYouGreatGreatBritain · 11/08/2012 16:00

Jumps for pentathlon are teeny! Kveta, hope your day has been brilliant.

OhYouGreatGreatBritain · 11/08/2012 16:56

Nasty upset with korean rider and the horse. Both seem ok though.

RaahhningforGOLD · 11/08/2012 17:30

There have been some close calls in the show jumping- it's amazing though when you think they don't 'know' the horses. The Chilean rider early on was very funny- he looked like he had borrowed his (much fatter) brother's jacket- and rode hell for leather like a cowboy!Grin

The Russians are closing in on our gold medals still- they seem to have left their best events til last to lull us into a false sense of securityGrin

RaahhningforGOLD · 11/08/2012 17:57

We're lying 7th and 9th in the Pentathlon- c'mon you two!

OhYouGreatGreatBritain · 11/08/2012 19:04

Was rather unhappy with the standard of riding tbh, they weren't difficult jumps and even though they don't know the horses, a lot of them didn't seem to have a clue about riding them with confidence, not bullying.
