This was half marathon day. The race started at 10:00. I got a tram into town at 07:45 or thereabouts. I went to the end of Tram Line 3 at Pyynikitori in order to get the best chance of a seat on the number 8 bus. The ploy worked. As for the race, it was basically 3 * 6 and a bit kilometre lap followed by one lap round the car park. I was not last! I got the number 8 back to Keskustori and had a chicken pita wrap (gyro) with a beer in the beer garden. Then I got the tram home. I was very tired during the afternoon so I had a lazy day. 

By the way. If I had been fit I would have wone a team medal as third Brit.

  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.
