Ok so i' a bit pissed but i don't care... This is probably the end of the blog, i'm back and hammered so here goes!!!

We finished up with a flurry of medals, Tom's 100m silver being a great run in spite of 4 false starts and could have been gold had there been one more metre... a brilliant run in the circumstances nonetheless and if we ever find out the true identity of the Greek winner then we'll no doubt establish that Tom was the true winner of the race,

Johnboy ran a blinder in the 10k to finish 2nd... his talent is now being backed up with tactics and the results are startling! Lots more to come from him in the future and there's no reason why he can' plug on with more from here.

The womens 4 x 100m was met. inevitably, with some controversy but a brilliant last leg from Harriet secured a bronze for the team. Severely impeded by a felled Guernsey runner, Harriet popped round the outside of her to sneak a medal on the line which was more than deserved for all of the team!

The mens 4 x 100m relay was hit with futher controversy... Tom pulled up with a nerve problem which left the team needing a strapping, quick youngster to fll in... none of these were available though so i had to do it! The team were immense and Mikey and Pete set me up with a perfect consolidation leg which Will brought home for the boys - i've never been so happy in my life!!! Mikeys run was all the moer remarkable given his recent traumas in a Greek hairdressers which has left him looking like a shaved sloth on ecstacy, ony worse.

My triple should have been a medal but i messed up and injured myslelf in needless fashion, which wasn't ideal and ultimately led to me finishing 6th... not great but my leg is screwed bigtime and i don't think i'll be out again this season.

A great games overall and i can't wait to see the rest of the team tomorrow morning... its about 5am and i'm first back - Will and Harriet were up to no good at the closing ceremony so i'm eagerly aniticipating his return. Reports that John H and Andrew D were stuck in a lift together for 2 hours are also, as yet, unconfirmed...

Sorry its not a great post but it brings you up to speed... last post this weekend.
