Macclesfield Harriers

Just a reminder to those who haven`t settled up for their tickets...Craig,Chris(i`ll get yours on saturday),Mudskimmer & GtheG.
I`ll start thinking about transport arrangements neare the day.
Phil

Yes, apologies Phil, I owe you money. Thanks again for organising this. On the day I could drive my Touran & we could get 6 or 7 in.
Cheers
Craig.

All,
I`ve spoken to most of you(except Murrays).
First session starts at noon & goes thru till 6pm.Second session is 7 to 1030pm.
First session will not be as rivetting as the 2nd.
Early bits of the men`s sprint heats will feature ,say,an estonian versus a japanese you`ve never heard of who won`t get near Chris Hoy in the next round.
BUT,the womens team sprint featuring(I assume) Victoria Pendleton is early in the session AND Chris Hoy has to qualify for the sprint in the very first event,maybe a new world record for 200 metres in the process.
So it`s up to you how you plan your day.
Martin,Pete,Chris,craig & I will probably share a car leaving Macc around noon.Mandy is travelling separately after a rowing session.
I`m assuming Turners & murrays will travel independently & Diggers will talk to me about his plans for him & Saam & collecting tickets.
I`m away till Friday evening but will access forum & have mobile signal.

Hope you guys all enjoyed the Saturday Racing.

George and I went and watched most of Sunday's racing (we missed the first 2 hours of the morning and the final few ceremonies).
Amazing to watch a world record being set, and the crowd reaction to the British riders.
Does anyone know the stated reason for the proposed dropping of the pursuit events from the Olympics? It was quite awsome watching the GB men pass the Spanish team at less than 2/3rds distance in the Gold Medal race.

Great Fun

I really enjoyed the racing & atmosphere as well & I have never considered myself much of a sport watcher ( more a sport do'er ). The GB ( & Sky HD+ ) teams were completely dominating in most events.

A big thanks to Phil for being so on the ball & getting us such good, front row, tickets.
Cheers
Craig.
