Hope to also witness another French Gold tomorrow - could be Absalon's third.

It's them Suntour forks wot dunnit.

First the Brits with their magic wheels, and now the Frenchies with their budget forks.

Yes looking forward to watching it on screen. Crazy atmosphere and great course. How was the marathon, would have been able to see it had it started a couple hours later, shame.

Fantastic marathon.

Planned to go but didn't as tired from yesterday watching people take a long walk in and around St James' park, also met Jared Tallent who completed the 50k walk in 3-35-59 for the silver medal. Great modest guy.
