Alex Wijsman makes us feel at home in Amsterdam

Alex Wijsman finished 43rd in the Clerical Medical Parish Walk in just over 20 hours. The former Gold bullion dealer kindly directed us the Olympic stadium for registration yesterday and we met several of his friends who were running, and their wives.

It was fantasic today, whilst standing at the side of the road in amsterdam, to have several people come up to us to say "hello" - people that we had met yesterday.

I got several pictures of Alex walking the course, one of which is published above (left).

I registered for the marathon yesterday and got the T shirt - and then my decision was taken not to start. Oh well, at least I was able to tuck into a nice big breakfast - unlike Ben who is preparing for the half marathon which starts in exactly an hour.
