Another note: the “London 2012” logo has twos that look like “z” or “N” if you rotate it. Then of course just swap the 0 and the 1. I am sure that is just coincidence too. 😉 ---

Wow world record for Men’s marathon is a 4:43 minute mile pace. For me that would be like sprinting as fast as I can for 26.2 miles. I’m trying to watch a good chunk of them. ---

I’m watching a replay of men’s 85kg weightlifting. These eastern european dudes are mind bottling. They’re creeping up on double bodyweight snatches. I’m hoping to work my way to a double bodyweight deadlift. I can’t imagine throwing it over my head and holding it there. ---

Yeah, even some of the more boring events are incredible to think what skill it takes to be at that level. I mean the marathon is pretty boring, but running a constant sub 5min/mi pace is outrageous. The gymnastics is crazy, the upper body strength required to do half the shit, and these 16 year old girls are doing it. I liked watching the archery, even though the US lost.
