Look out Jordan

I refer of course to the country, not the model!

This weekend sees what is arguably the hardest to win endurance race in the World - the World Cross Country Championships to be held this year in Amman, Jordan. Amongst those competing will be Keith Gerrard, making his debut for Great Britain. Hopefully it will not be too hot and Keith has been preparing well at the GB team camp in Aldershot. With the East Africans so dominant in recent years and weather conditions more suited to those from warmer climates it is going to be tough but a great experience for Keith. There is no reason why this team cannot put in the best performance by a British mens team for a few years.

I will try and put a few posts in the lead up to Sunday.

With three cyclists competing in the same week in the World Track Championships, it is exciting times for Manx sport.

I will hold over my thoughts on the strcture of the local season for a few days.
