No, as it's a handicap he has to give away a start. The fastest heat winner is 8.5 metres ahead of him.

4 Women's Semis completed, 2 winners off 11 metres and 1 from 0 metres (scratch)

Interesting final shaping up.

The guy who won really beat the handicapper. Got in with 9.75 metres, they didn't get near him.

I dreamt about Femke last night.

God bless her.

Below is my recollection.

I dreamt that I was at the Gyulai memorial (which I will be attending later this year)

The event organisation was very shoddy and the hurdles racetrack was more like a bumpy and obstacle course with a lot of turns. I sat front row very close to the track.

Femke finished last.

Then some pensioners tried to take photos of her but the photos came out blurry. So I tried to help them and that's how I came to talk to Femke.

I think we talked about the state of Hungary, government corruption etc.

I was carrying a frog like creature in my hands for a while. It was very annoying so finally I made it explode.

I'm amazed I could recall so many details hours later. I usually remember very little.

Does anyone have a dream diary?
