"Race day has finally arrived. We have been here a while now and it feels like everybody else has finished competing or has at least started, yet we're still waiting, but it all begins for Jess and I this afternoon. 

"I'm looking forward to going out and doing my job. Obviously I'm nervous too. It's the Olympics!  But we're as ready as we are going to be. 

"It's been an inspiring few days as well. Team GB has been outstanding. We're  in 3rd place on the medal table.  

"It’s amazing. I was lucky to be able to watch the rowing finals and witness all 6 of GB's medals. It was fantastic. I've put some more photos up on the gallery" 

Anna's blog is spoken through SpinVox, a service that converts voicemail messages into text. To find out more log onto http://www.spinvox.com.
