Day 11 - Marathon Swimming + Football

We were confident when we arrived in Hyde Park that our first gold medal would be delivered by Keri Anne Payne

It all started to go wrong when we walked the wrong way around the Serpentine and ended up with a 45 minute walk in the baking sun rather than a 15 minute one. As the event got underway she made a good start but seemingly made an feeding error (I am available for coaching if she is struggling) and ended up in fourth.

After that we toddled off for a burger at Meatliquor which was a very good burger. The chilli fries we ordered to go with it were possibly the most disgraceful side order in the history of the world. Good though

Next up was Wembley for the women's football final.

It was a great game with the USA beating the plucky (and unlucky) Japanese 2-1. Wembley is a great stadium and the atmosphere was different to your average football crown in this country. Fun, if slightly exhausting, day
