Adrian Blincoe showed good fitness today at the London Aviva Diamond League meet at Crystal Palace. In a race won by the USA's Bernard Lagat in 7:40.36, Blincoe finished in 10th place in a respectable 7:49.21, just 3 seconds off his PR of 7:46.49 (2005). His time today was also 7.7 seconds faster than the 3000 he ran in Switzerland five days ago. A little less rosy story for Bobby Curtis today. He became detached from the main chasers and came 12th, in 8:04.12, almost 7 seconds slower than the 7:57.28 he ran last week in Switzerland.
