Just realized that I once trained with the 400m runners when i went for the Brunei atheletes training. Only once cause i was too lazy to go everyday. They're really good. Hope they can do well in the Olympics!

Wait...49 seconds for the 400m? I did 60 seconds for 400m in training for 1500m events so I wouldn't say that's amazing ;)

I've been training at the same time as the Trinidad and Tobego squad, fair play to them now the weathers warmed up they're doing much faster sessions.

I've done it a few times. The first time we were only like 11 so they wouldn't let us go past Level 12 and there were quite a few of us left to go. The next time when I was 14 I got to Level 14.

Haven't done bleep test since 3 years before I started training (when I got 9.2 at 12). I've never done a 100m race, but in a 200m session I did the first 100m comfortably in 13 seconds before being told to slow down (we were meant to be pacing at 29 second intervals, not 26 seconds <_<). But I'm not a 100m runner so probably couldn't do much faster than 12 seconds.

I see the first world records in the Olympics have been broken :D I reckon that Rudisha should smash the 800m record.

I found it rather boring in general, with a few good moments. I must admit that it's hard to follow Beijing.

It was probably harder to follow if you didn't know about English history.

That was not the case. I actually really enjoyed the industrial revolution part, with the chimneys rising. But the fairy-tales part was rather dull (except by all Mary poppins!) and the music history one was also quite a drag (IMO).

But I just loved Mr Bean :D

I loved the opening ceremony from beginning to the end. The history of britain from industrial to technological, from poor to rich and just awesomeness of Danny Boyle. I much preferred it to beijing

I bet that none of you knew that I live less than 30 seconds from where Danny Boyle grew up. Just shows, only the best people come from Radcliffe haha

And there wasn't any slave stuff was there? I saw agriculture change to industrial change to technology and then it finished. I think everything lasted long enough apart from the first 20mins which they could have scratched about 15 minutes off.

You have to admit that it would take something pretty spectacular to beat that. CGI < Voldemort haha.
