Championships Begin

Well I don't know what to say really.......

three minutes (more like three days) to the biggest battle of our professional lives....either we heal as a team or we're gonna crumble, inch by inch, play by play till we're finished, we're in hell right now (actually we're in Barcelona), believe me and we can stay here and get the shit kicked out of us or we can fight our way back into the light, we can climb out of hell (run) one inch at a time now I cant do it for you I'm too old I look around and I see these young faces and I think,I mean........
I made every wrong choice a middle aged man ( athlete) could make, I pissed away all my money believe it or not, I chased off anyone who's ever loved me and lately I cant even stand the face I see in the mirror.......

you know when you get old in life things get taken from you I mean that's part of life, but you only learn that when you start losing stuff you find out life's this game of inches so is Athletics because in either game life or athletics the margin for error is so small, i mean one half a step to late or to early you don't quite make it, one half second to slow or too fast you don't quite catch it, the inches we need our everywhere around us, in every minute and every second, this team we fight for that inch, on this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch, we claw with our fingernails for that inch because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f#@"*ing difference between winning and losing, between living and dieing........

I'll tell you this in any fight its the athlete who's willing to die who will win that inch and I know if I'm going to have any life its because I'm still willing to fight and die for that inch because that's what living is, the six inches in front of your face now I cant make you do it you got to look at the athlete next to you, look into her eyes now I think your gonna see a girl who's gonna go that inch with you, your gonna see a girl that will sacrifice herself for this team because she knows that when it comes down to it your gonna do the same for her, that's a team ladies and either we heal now as a team or we will die as individuals........


That's Track and Field, That's all it is, That's GB ;)


What a great start to the championships already, medal tally doing well and a massive congratulations to my training partner Mr Mark Lewis-Francies and a great Silver medal performance in the 100mtrs!
The stadium is amazing It is by far the best track I have been too, and according to the athletes its also fast. At the moment I am chilling in the corridor of our team hotel Jamming with some music with Miss Elaine O'Neill, Miss Hayley Jones, and Mr Graham Hedman (Just been informed by Graham he is a SIR!! Bull, haha). This is us trying to keep ourselves entertained, we even painted our nails in red and blue for Team GB colours! The relay Team doesnt compete till Saturday morning so its a very long wait for us guys but when our time does come it's going to be out of this world
