Sprinter Tre Houston is praying for an injury-free season as he sets his sights on representing Bermuda at the IAAF World Championships in South Korea this summer.The 20-year-old has spent more than a month dusting off the cobwebs at a warm weather training camp in California, US, where he opened up his race programme with a trio of meets.Although satisfied with his early season form, Houston believes he has much more to give providing he avoids a reacurrance of the hamstring problems that blighted his previous campaign.“I’ve actually just returned to the UK from warm weather training in California,” said Houston. “I was out there for five weeks. So far I have opened up with three races doing the 100 and 200 metres.“I’ve done good so far and I’m getting quicker each race, but I’m still in heavy training. I’m just seeing where my fitness and speed is at, but I’m very happy to be running because last year I had plenty of hamstring problems. I’m already off to a better start this season.”Houston moved to London, England, at the start of last year to team up with sprint guru Tony Lester, who has worked with star quality athletes such at Britons Denise Lewis, Marlon Devonish and Roger Black.The sorcerer and his apprentice have forged a strong relationship both on and off the track since then, with Houston now feeling far more comfortable about life in the ‘Big Smoke’ than he did 12 months ago.“I’m still based in the UK and I’m now attending college so things are much better now,” he said. “I’m feeling much more confident about the season approaching, I just have to stay injury-free because it will be a long season from April to October.“Tony Lester is still putting together my programme and he feels much more confident in me. I’ve had a full year with him and he sees improvements each day I step out on the track to train, and even in the weight room.”Last year saw Houston represent the Island at the Commonwealth Games, in India, where he achieved a personal best in the quarterfinals of the 100m with a time of 10.45 seconds, and reached the semi-finals of the 200m.Having relished his first taste at the elite level, Houston a self-proclaimed ‘student of sprinting’ believes he’s prepped for another stiff examination and hopes to continue his track education at the World Championships in South Korea in August.“The next meet for me will be in Switzerland in May followed by other meets in Europe. My main goals this year are to stay injury-free, become much more educated in my events and race at the World Championships in Korea,” he said.
