Thought I'd drop you a line,and giv€ yo! a bit of an "inside sto.y of tli. Marathon at Wales and sone of the gossip I picked up. It @s a g.eat trip-believ€ nent tirst (and I hope not last) international and I rea11y eljoyed it. Was disalpointed about the na.athon but got over it. Th€ boys scre just too tough- It was a fabulous experien.e tho neeting all the nguns.' I also spent a colp1e of d.1ys with Ceruttv and was reallv inpressed. Altho;Cn I donrT-aIgsom€ of his stlff re arns, valious rhytlms, etc,, his nain theolies are exceflent, and what slrPrised ne was his tlenendous down to earth talk- He has the greatest a4d nost understanding knovledge of track of myone Iive ever heard. Now for the Enpire Marathon. The fair, a coupre of ssa11 hi1ls and one large one-the first at a ni1€ nark. Afte! that it sas pretty {e11 flat- Viind sith us going out & aeainst on the returnTenp. between 70 and 75o. After a steady start around the stadiun we settled down to a nice quick pace with Barnard and Niid(So. Africa) in the 1ead. lirst 5 nl1es in approx. 27 nins. After that the lead fluctuated aqd the pace valied as sone one alwals *as ttyiqg to break away, first (enba11 & Nilkiqson of England, then Balnard, around 8 niles Davies of Nales responded to the cheers of his coutrynen and sled !p, he was leadi!8 at 10 niles in 54 nins.

At about 12 ni1€s !oBe! slddenly took off, altholgh I didrnt thlnk he would go all the vav after his sreat 6nites and 3 niies. I tried to go with hin.
