Commonwealth Games Update

30/09/2010 by admin.

Just back from dinner in the Athletes’ Village Restaurant where there is a wide selection of food from Western, Indian, African, Asian and Italian - plenty for everyone.

We had our welcome selection today where they put out flag up.  They clearly had put a lot of work into preparing with dancing and music.

We have trained out on our allocated 10 mile loop of road.  We load up onto a bus with the bikes and have a 20 minute journey out there.  We have up to 3 hrs to train.  I am breaking myself in gently with a 1.5 hr ride yesterday and 1 hr 50 today with intervals.  It’s very hot but I seem to be hydrating well so far.

The biggest star I have seen so far is swimmer, Rebecca Addlington.  Mark Cavendish is coming out here so that’s really exciting.

Using SPF 50 so might take a while to notice a tan!
