This was a
disappointing start. Although I knew we would find it hard
because of several athletes being absent, the fact that 3
athletes failed to turn up without letting me know is annoying,
rude, and ultimately cost us 6th place, which we deserved,
because of the hard work of the athletes who were there, several
doubling up for the sake of the team. Nick Gayle achieved a
sprint/hurdles double, Louis Moore performed well in Long Jump
and Pole Vault, Gregg Nixon achieved an ESAA Entry standard in
the Discus, and James Dohnal worked hard all day in spite of
only a few hours sleep because he, like me, only arrived back
from Spain this morning.
We now have a lot of
catching up to do, and I will pick a team of athletes who want
to compete in the next match.
