Too much sport is barely enough

Saturday was a big Olympic sporting day, I went to HydePark and watched the Womens Triathlon, it was very well setup, with about a reporting 200,000 crowd, the swim was in the Sepentine lake and then the cycle was 7 laps of 6.1kms circuit that went around and thru Hyde Park and down to Buckingham Palace, then 4 laps of 2.5kms around the edge of the lake. Erin Densham was fantastic in getting the bronze, she stayed with the leading cycle pack that included Australian Emma Jackson, into the run she pushed the pace that lead to a group of 4, she was out run at the end by the swiss girl and another to get the bronze, 21 year old Emma Jackson finished well in 8th spot, she will be a threat in Rio. Then last night I saw agame of two halves in the Boomers basketball game against GB, down 36 to 51 after 2 minutes of the 2nd hald the Boomers went on a 30 to 6 run for the rest of the quarter , GB hit a 3 on the Buzzer (3/4 qtr time) to get it back to 66-60 with the Boomers in front, Patty Mills was every where, he shoots on volume and last night he hit 38 points and was just unstoppable, I had a chat with his Dad after the game, (I use to play against Benny Mills). The last quarer started well with the Boomers going on a 17 to nothing run, GB went from bad to worse, every Boomer was starting to score, Joe Ingles, Andersen, Newley, Mills finished it off well, we won the qtr 40 to 15, in the last 18 minutes Australia out scored GB 70 to 25. We now have a must win big game against Russia monday to try and avoid USA in the quarters. This morning I went down to Tower of London where there was a turn around point for the Womens Marthon which consisted of a 4.5k loop and then 3 laps of 12.5, where I was watching from approx 6kms from the finish, I watched them come thru twice, Australia had 3 runners, Lisa flea Weighmen, Tress my brother plays for the Demons Trengove & Benita Willis, there was plenty of rain early, then it fined up and the sun came out in parts. I left early to head off to the Basketball, the Opals beat Canada, after a great start in the first quarter, I think the score was 25 to 10, they were very ordinary after that, the Canuks got within 2 in the last quarter, but Lauren Jacksons foul shooting in the last 3 minutes won us the game. The match after could be the Gold medal playoff, USA were beating china by 12 just before half time but early on we're matching them, the Chinese look a better team than the Opals.
