:03:35. > :03:36.He sat back, taking up a tactical position at the rear of the chasing

:04:08. > :04:12.I knew I could run with these guys, and they called me up quite early on
:04:13. > :04:15.the bikes, so I sat in and save myself for a bit, and then just try
:04:16. > :04:19.to do some thing at the end to give myself as much as a chance `s I
:04:20. > :04:23.could. It wasn't really enotgh. They flew past me on that run. Btt I had
:04:24. > :04:31.to make sure I just ran my race and got into my own rhythm. So H was
:04:32. > :04:34.pleased with that. Duncan t`ke pride in his final standing in a race that
:04:35. > :04:38.is almost four times shorter than his usual businesses.
:04:39. > :04:40.In the squash, Guernsey's Opening Ceremony flagbearer Chris Shmpson is
:04:41. > :04:43.through to the last 16 of the men's singles after beating Colin Ramara

:04:48. > :05:02.He is a young player, very clean, quite strong and fit, and I had to
:05:03. > :05:06.try and working round the court get used to be caught myself, and try
:05:07. > :05:08.and get him off as quickly `s possible, and it all went to plan.

:05:16. > :05:17.The husband and wife pairing are also competing
:05:18. > :05:21.And Sarah says Team Jersey supporting her court`side is
:05:22. > :05:30.It gave me a little bit of confidence, but then I kind of went
:05:31. > :05:34.quite edgy in the second gale, and she kind of did a view flew the
:05:35. > :05:38.shots, so I had to get a bit more focused. And that you kind of thing,
:05:39. > :05:41.who is watching? You would like the top athletes in the world, some of
:05:42. > :05:43.the top players in the world, you are with them, so it was quhte
:05:44. > :05:44.scary, actually. The swimming started at Tollcross
:05:45. > :05:47.this morning, with lots of Channel Islands interest in the heats.
:05:48. > :05:57.Emma Chambers was poolside for us. The Heats whereon at the pool today,
:05:58. > :06:01.I high profile event attracting hundreds. As you can hear, there is
:06:02. > :06:05.a real sense of excitement here at the Tollcross swimming centre. This
:06:06. > :06:10.is a huge event in the Commonwealth Games, and a huge platform for our
:06:11. > :06:15.Channel Islands swimmers. J`y`Z s Tom Galer Shaul was the first island
:06:16. > :06:18.in the pool. His first heat went fantastically well, finishing first,
:06:19. > :06:28.and beating his best for thd butterfly heats. In his second heat,
:06:29. > :06:33.it was a tougher competition, against some of the best nales. But
:06:34. > :06:43.Guernsey's Miles Monroe did secure joint 15th place. Jeans you give its
:06:44. > :06:48.finished up in his heat. And Luke Felton's hard training paid off in
:06:49. > :06:53.the breast stroke. He got a personal best and dnjoyed
:06:54. > :06:56.every second of it. Incredible, for such a small nation to Gambha and
:06:57. > :07:00.swim against England and Scotland and Australia. It is so good to be
:07:01. > :07:05.able to repeat in Guernsey. I am very proud. Pleasing perforlances
:07:06. > :07:08.and timings, a successful d`y in the pool for Jersey and Guernsex.
:07:09. > :07:10.But there is no rest for thdm. They compete in more heats over the next
:07:11. > :07:12.few days. Well, Guernsey's Miles Munro,
:07:13. > :07:15.who we saw in Emma's piece, was in the semi finals
:07:16. > :07:17.of the 50m Men's Butterfly tonight. He was up
:07:18. > :07:24.against a very strong field, as In Lane eight, Miles Monroe of
:07:25. > :07:29.Guernsey. He was up
:07:30. > :07:31.against a very strong field, as Miles only qualified equal fifteenth
:07:32. > :07:34.out of sixteen for the semi finals. So the Sarnian can be very proud
:07:35. > :07:38.of coming in seventh, and slashing And
:07:39. > :07:41.if you want to watch more islanders in action tomorrow, Jersey take
:07:42. > :07:45.on England in the Badminton at pm. And Guernsey take on Jersey

:08:07. > :08:09.night. Good evening. The one thing that
:08:10. > :08:13.will change over the next fdw days will be a drop in the temperatures.
:08:14. > :08:17.They could not stay as high as they have been for too long. A lhttle
:08:18. > :08:22.cooler at night, and certainly, daytime temperatures coming down. At
:08:23. > :08:26.another hot day tomorrow. E`sy with warm sunshine sums it up. Lhttle
:08:27. > :08:31.change in that pattern. There is a change way up here, a cold front

:08:59. > :09:02.little cooler as head into the weekend. There is generally more
:09:03. > :09:06.cloud around on Saturday, and the winds start to question frol the
