Day 7 - My Adventures in Glasgow!!! (First Day of Athletics at Hampden Park) (27th July)

After having a lie in, today was my third shift at Hampden Park (The first day at the athletics programme). After having some breakfast, I relaxed at the campsite for the rest of morning watching the television in the bar!

At about 10.45am, I left the campsite and had to walk about 15/20 minutes to Maxwell Park Station. With me arriving early for the train, I watched a bit of the Marathon which was taking place on the street around the campsite (Why I didn't take a bus and had to walk to a different station). I then took a train to Glasgow Central Station and then got back on the same train to take me to Mount Florida! Then I walked to Hampden Park!  

After going through  security and checking in and  I went to Print Distribution Room ready for my shift! It was manic, a strange shift because when I turned up Callum, the results technology workforce manager and some other team members were already photocopying and delivering reports and as the team leader didn't really know what was going on!

This continued for the rest of shift with start lists and results coming in at the same time! (Start lists causing the problems). Also we had to do all the report covers by hand (making the process slow) (This would get better more on this Day 8). Apart from have a break for some food it was all go until the final race the Mens 5000m Final at about 6.10pm. Once all the reports had been printed and delivered we had a de-brief and it was another shift completed! 

I took a train back to Glasgow Central from Mount Florida and then another train back to Maxwell Park! After a little walk back to the campsite, I returned to my tent to relax before going to sleep after a manic day! (I got back at around 9.00pm)!

But the manic day hasn't put me off and I'll be back for another shift tomorrow!!!!
