“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Go GB!!

Have you been watching the IAAF World Championships?

Of course the highlight of any athletics tournament is the men's 100m. 

No surprises - Jamaica 1, 3, 4 and 5.

This country absolutely DOMINATES men and women's sprinting and it makes me feel a little nostalgic about the days when British sprinters used to make it into the top 5. 

Well, at least we had Jason Dasaolu in the final....even if he did come last. Better than having no one representing at all, right?

But of course, we are all super, super proud of Mo Farah, who smashed it in the 10,000m to bring home his 3rd gold medal. He's so humble and super nice to the media - he deserves it so much! 

Looking forward to the women's 100m tonight. Asha Philip will be representing, but the poor girl is significantly the slowest in her heat....and will have to SMASH her PB if she's to make it anywhere near getting through as a fastest loser. I won't be holding my breath. But at least Jamaica will get a run for their money - Nigeria and the US have super strong female sprinters, so I'm looking forward to seeing what happens there. 

Should be a good championship!

Go GB!!
