I'm exceptionally proud of Gail's achievement in reaching the Island Games, after only a couple of years of really serious running. The Island Games is held every 2 years, and has developed into a marvellous event since its inception here on the Isle of Man in 1985. 25 islands from all over the world compete in a 'mini-Olympics' involving 14 sports, which now gets considerable press and TV coverage. Rhodes will be a great place to be, but perhaps not for the distance runners as it will be VERY hot and humid. A total contrast from the Shetland Islands in 2005!
