What a fantastic weekend of sport it was at Easter.
What I really like about the Easter Athletics Festival is that it is dominated by young people. That's the way sport should be. Its all very well for us all guys to be "good for age", to use that wonderful qualifying criteria for the London Marathon, but athletes should be good at a young age. There are very few events in Britain where nearly half of the top 20 finishers are under 20.
Easter is a week earlier next year and a week has already elapsed since the 2009 Easter Festival so there are only 50 weeks to go - for the Manx Mountain Marathon as well.
I'm nearly at the end of the 2009 coverage but still have a few more things to say another day.
