Bermuda sprinter Tre Houston has reflected on his 'mind blowing' experience at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India.

The 19-year-old achieved a personal best in the quarter-finals of the 100m with a time of 10.45 seconds.

He also reached the semi-finals of the 200m and ran his second quickest time of –21.25 seconds.

Houston said doubling up in the 100 and 200m at his first major international event proved a real challenge but was 'over the moon' with his impressive performances against some of the top athletes in the world.

"My first Commonwealth Games were mind blowing, I'm over the moon with my performances in the 100m to the 200m," said Houston, who visited the Taj Mahal in India yesterday.

"It all came together at the right time which was a great thing for me.

"When I got the call to say I was doubling up at the Commonwealth Games I was kind of in a panic phase.

"(I thought) why will they enter me in both when I was mainly focusing and concentrating on the 200 metres.

"But once I was in training doing my speed workouts I was being educated much more on (both) races from my coach Tony Lester."

Reaching the –semi-finals in the 200m came as no –surprise to Houston, whose greatest thrill came in the 100m in which he ran in back-to-back personal best times.

"For me to make the quarter-finals (of the 100m) running back-to-back PB's in the time frame of 35-40 minutes was very exciting," he said. I missed out on the semi-finals by .05

"Making it to the semi-final was expected because my mind was set and locked on doing the 200m at the Games.

"After running the PB's in the 100m I was still trying to find my legs after a day's rest which is hard to recover from, but I went out and gave it 100 percent because in each round I wanted to make that final and run 20. to end my season even better.

"I ran my second quickest time, 21.06, with my PB being 21.04.

"I found that awesome because I knew I was in some good shape."

Houston, the nephew of Bermuda sprinting legend Troy Douglas, has been a pupil at Lester's UK-based sprint school since the start of the year and he is confident that after another year working with the esteemed coach he will continue to shave tenths of seconds off his best times.

"Anything developed good is developed slowly, so next year will be a better year as I'll have had a full year with my coach which will make a big difference."

He added: "My experience was wonderful in India. I'd also like to send out shout-outs to the Bermuda Olympic Association, Bermuda Track and Field Association, daddy, De-Von Bean, Gerry Swan and Cal Simmons."

Houston's next major event will be the World Championships in South –Korea in August 2011.
