I was really pleased that I took the crutches, and we were extremely lucky with the parking. A great trip. And tonight I have see Jonnie Peacock win another world championship.

Race day! We got away from the hotel pretty promptly and had a drink and food when we arrived as we had planned. We had seen what the queues were like the previous day and it would undoubtedly be more manic today.Tina and I had mac n cheese, delicious, Darren had a sausage bap and fries from a different food outlet. I bought one of the special issue caps, Lewis was wearing one yesterday.
Some cars from a different angle in one of the earlier races.
Then the porches.
Lewis on the track parade.
And ready to race!
There was a red arrows display but sadly mostly behind out stand, did get this picture though.
The atmosphere and race were fantastic. Will write a bit more about that tomorrow.

Sounds, and looks like you had a really good day. Made all the better by Lewis winning in such great style! Bet you're so pleased you were there to see it all in person too. The weather held up pretty well too, and it sounds like the traffic wasn't as bad as expected either. All I all, apart from the ankle, a really worth while trip. Main thing though, did Darren enjoy it all? I bet he did :-) Even I enjoyed seeing it on the telly. Did look out for you all, but didn't get a glimpse :-)
ReplyDeleteDarren did enjoy the weekend and we all loved the actual race. It wasn't quite so cold yesterday and the rain waited until after the race. The ankle did slow me up but didn't take away from the enjoyment too much.
