Day 4<\/p>\n

2:38am<\/p>\n

Finally returning to my Antarctic hotel room, it\u2019s been quite an adventure. We\u2019ll discuss the track and Field heroics later, but first, I need to delve into the adventure that was the magical mystery bus tour of Doha.<\/p>\n

\"Advertisement<\/a><\/p>\n

Its 11.23pm and I\u2019m hustling out of the track after the women\u2019s 100m final (we\u2019ll get to that at the end), I was planning on heading to the women\u2019s 20km race walk to catch Jemima Montag and Katie Hayward cut some laps of the Corniche. I was thinking maybe a bus back to the hotel then a cab\/uber would suffice. Might take a little while but what the heck, it\u2019s a 20km walk and I have about 40mins till they start.<\/p>\n

I get to the bus bay and guess what, there\u2019s buses going directly to the Corniche! I\u2019m in luck. I\u2019ll catch the start of the midnight walk sesh and be able to really soak it up.<\/p>\n
