 Monday 27 June (first full day at destination)

I woke up at around 7:30. I pottered about for a while. It is already very hot here. My summary of the trip so far (for Mandy) was thus:

 

For the first time ever, at Pen-y-Lan kennels, Maisie was upset to see me go! Anyway, I arrived at my destination safely (eventually). The train journey at this end was a bit of a nightmare with late trains, and replacement buses causing delays and confusion.  It is very hot and very sunny here. I wish I had air conditioning in my "apartment" which is basically just a large room on the 7th floor of a tower block. It has everything I need though (except air conditioning) 😀. First job today is to go shopping and get some healthy food. Then I go to the stadium to collect my race pack.

 

I went shopping and spend just under £50 on provisions. I came back and had bacon and eggs for breakfast with tea and coffee (milk in my tea). I travelled to the stadium by bus because the trams were not working. I picked up my race pack but the ID cards are not yet available so I will have to go back there tomorrow. Back at the flat I made cheeseburgers. I also bought some Pepsi Max and crisps from the corner shop. In the evening I ran one mile out to the lake and one mile back again. I also did some massage gun work on my glutes.

  Tuesday 28 June (day 2 in Tampere) I woke up at around 7:30 (again). I made tea and coffee and I pottered about for a while. It is already very hot here again. I am doing things like Wordle & Duolingo in addition to my housekeeping. My back is killing me so I made a point of doing 35 minutes of Yoga (by Chris on demand). NB. I suspect the back pain may be due to me transporting my large suitcase which weighs 20Kg. I had to carry it up and down some steps at stations where the lifts were not working. I had bacon, egg and mushrooms for breakfast and sent a message to Kay. I stayed in the apartment during the morning. The ID cards were not available until late afternoon. I had some ham and cheese with salad for lunch. So, late afternoon I headed for the stadium and collected my Athlete ID card. On the way back I called in at the supermarket, I bought two cans of cider, some Pepsi Max, some bacon, some spring onions, and a big bag of crisps. I had an early night.
