After a quick pit stop back home, I returned to Asia on Tuesday to cover the Diamond League athletics meet, taking place in Doha tonight. After leaving my consultancy role with UK Athletics at the end of March, I had asked to stay involved with the organisation on an event...
With a blink of an eye, the roar of 50,000 people (none louder than when Belgium's Borlee twins crossed the 400m line in first & second), the breaking of the 110m men's hurdles world record, a huge party with Shaggy & Usain taking turns on stage & some light-hearted late night...

Finally! Back home! It's been a while on the road with back to back trips now but as I went to bed last night in Brussels, it was with a smile on my face knowing that tomorrow night I would be resting my head on my own pillows once again.
The Brussels trip was a great...
