Monday 27: Rehearsal for the Opening Ceremony

Mike making sure we are in the right place for the athletes parade  

 After my first day off on Sunday, I was back in the action yesterday. A lot going on in the office and to arrange for the teams as competition days get closer. Some of the technical briefings started yesterday and I am working with the cycle team (track and road races) as their support liaison. Like Nicola before me, last night I had the experience of the opening ceremony rehearsal as an "athlete". A chance for the games makers to swop stories and chat in a relaxed way whilst we waited our moment in the stadium and on the big screens. Got to carry the flag which was something special.
