Like you want to put the broken bits together to make something sensible, like, I don't know, a square?
ME! OMG ME! It's so...1990s. I am not sure what is worse, the logo or the mascots. Vancouver did the mascots RIGHT. I have my own quatchi sitting on my couch, in fact.
I LOVED the Vancouver mascots! They were so cute. The Beijing ones were also a little strange. It's interesting to me how opinions change after the fact! Many in the media HATED the mascots initially, said the Vancouver Games were shaping up (before they had even started) to be the WORST games ever. Now the mascots were great, and they were up among the best games ever!! I can tell you, I volunteered and had a blast. One of the best experiences of my life. (And I only just realized that the logo for London was the year. I didn't look too hard, to be honest, but it should not be difficult to pick out what a logo means...) Best games ever, solely because of this:
Go Canada! Two of those chicks actually look like you. The one on the left, and the one on the right. Is that just because those are the two that are clearly obnoxiously drunk and don't give a sh*t. |

ANTHROPOMETRIC PARAMETERS FOR OPEN WATER SWIMMERS* FEMALES: US HEIGHT, CM 168.3 ± 2.8 So the AVERAGE of U.S. female competitive OWSers is 23%. That makes me feel much better. And with the standard deviation at 2.3, there's a few significantly above that. |

Gossipy swim was good, we got through 2.5km every other lane did 3km except the speedy lane who did 3.5km - wow. Channel news, conditions in the Channel worsened and pilot abandoned attempt, too choppy too risky. Such a shame when you've worked so hard. But like all things getting to the start is the hardest part. Paul will be back next year I'm sure for another go. Incidentally it's been the worst year for failed attempts due to weather! Now Richie and Robbie are off crossing around the 12th August. Fingers crossed we get one success. I certainly have a heap more respect for Coach Johnny now - swoon. |

The cold and the tides outdid him. He is well, healthy just cold. And he'll be back for another attempt next year! Today Paul Hoffmann a friend is attempting his crossing. My money is on Paul achieving the unachievable! incidentally first crossing coach Johnny attempted at the age of 18 ended in CPR - he got hypothermia and lost consciousness, his coach (olympic champion Dawn Fraser). It is not a challenge for the faint hearted and if you have not gained enough weight and fat you will succumb to the cold. so today I will not be doing much work - I will tracking the boat Gallivant across the Channel! Thanks for the well wishes everyone - cold is still there, I feel less feverish though! If my throat doesn't improve I will go to the doctor tomorrow. Thank goodness he is ok! I can't believe they aren't allowed to wear wet suits! Who makes up that rule? HOw is it possible for someone to be in cold water for almost half a day? I can't wrap my head around this one. More so than the thought of swimming and biking for miles and miles BEFORE starting a marathon (considering I've tried to barely stand the day before a marathon). It's not supposed to be easy, living with history sometimes makes you realise how soft we have become. Back when it was first done, wetsuits had not been invented. We should not make it easier just to make people happy. If you think you can hack it, put your name down, if not, there are plenty of other challenges not involving crazy amounts of swimming in cold water. Yowza, that's a passionate response! Channel swimming must have more meaning to you Brits Not meant to be offensive, just strongly held view. I can see your point also, it's just not how it's done across the channel |
