Saw the first of this years Diamond League Meetings @ Gateshead this evening.  Should anybody be heading up { or even down } that way please, for your own health, do not forget the Waterproofs and Wellies.  I only say that because the meeting tonight was taking place in the lee of Noah's blooming Ark or so it seemed !!  But I do admit that the athletes were, by and large cheerful & smiling if not actually laughing out loud.

    Not a Diamond League Meeting, but The "Muller British Championships"  and Olympics Trials.

    Sadly Mo Farah fell short of the needed time to qualify for Tokyo, should it go ahead, and despite three pace-makers, seemed to be running one race too many. Now it's getting a touch late for his aging legs to respond even should he find a suitable meeting.

     

    Staying with the Championships ~~ there were several Under Twenties looking to make a name for themselves  and to my aged mind seeming to succeed  in that wink!!
