Got tickets for the Saturday night finals. Quite excited and pretty chuffed about the way it came about. Amazing really since I'd never thought I'd be able to drag the missus, even kicking and screaming, to a cycle event, but the way things have worked out was:-
-I suggest that she watch pre-olympic Pendleton human interest story documentary with me ("it'll be as much about her, her insecurities/relationship with her father and dealing with pressure as it is to do with cycling" says I).
-After documentary she wants to see how VP gets on at games.
-We watch start of track events together so she can see women's team sprint.
-To help her out I start explaining track racing, rules, tactics etc.
-She then wants to watch other track events and we watch all coverage.
-She hears about World Cup and suggests that we take a long weekend to along as she finds the idea of watching it live exciting and something she doesn't want to miss.
-I weep tears of joy.
