Managing the Island Games athletics team for the first time, Huddlestone has previously been in charge of athletics teams at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne 2006 and Delhi 2010, as well as the last three youth games.
The timetable of athletics events was released earlier this month and although morning sessions conclude at 11.30 am and evening sessions do not begin until 6 pm, Huddlestone is aware that competitors will have to take measures to remain hydrated.
‘It will be hot and humid,’ he said. ‘I’ve been to Bermuda a number of times before and I’ve even lived there so I know what the warm weather is like and I’ll be going on about hydration. You have to keep yourself properly hydrated and make sure you have plenty of electrolyte drinks to keep yourself in the best possible condition.’
