Hi All
Sorry for not keeping up-to-date on the blog. As you can imagine, our schedule has been fairly hectic. Between watching athletics, having ice baths, supporting other sports and hanging out on the beach or by the pool, we have fallen behind. Not to worry though, here are all the updates...
Monday was a great day for athletics. To start the evening session off, Sam Wallbridge placed first in the men's 400m hurdles to win the first athletics gold of the Island Games. Following Sam, Hannah Lesbirel ran in the women's 100m final. Having PB'd in the heats, running 12.96, Hannah placed 6th in a fast final.
Up next were Glenn and I who placed 4th and 6th respectively with PB times of 10.96 and 11.04, Glenn only narrowly missing out on a medal to Mats Bowman of Aland, a Cayman Islander, and the winner of the event, Tre Houston, who set a new Island Games 100m record.
In the field events, Zoe Fitch won bronze in javelin with Ali Higgins placing 4th, and setting a new PB.
Sarah Waters jumped just shy of her PB in long jump, achieving 4.96 to come 7th in her Island Games debut.
To round off the evening, Mike Wilesmith ran in the men's 10,000m. Unfortunately, a fast race meant Mike had to drop out, mainly to conserve himself for the half marathon, having dropped slightly off the race pace.
More from us shortly... Josh
