I did! So much so that I've been AWOL for the past week after doing so well with the GDTs for the first half. I can't remember everything I've seen or done or people I've met over the past week but some highlights were cheering Tonya Verbeek through her qualifying matches and having her smile and wave after she won her semi; meeting Canada's diving coach at the pub (an hour later he was at the aquatics centre coaching Riley McCormick in final competition); being at Jamaica House to watch Bolt/Blake/Weir sweep the 200m (the bar ran out of rum an hour or two after); and watching the emotional closing ceremony concert in Hyde Park last night which Damon Albarn has said would be Blur's last--I'm surprised this wasn't somehow linked live to the ceremony at the Olympic Stadium somehow for at least a segment.
I don't know what I'm going to do with myself now, it's like I've just finished an amazing holiday planned years in advance and today is the first day back to work.
