MichelleW Report post Posted July 11, 2007 I had to do a mummy and toddler race! My little one kept trying to join in the main races! J managed to do 2 races -just the straight forward running ones, the remainder of the 2 hours he managed to sit really well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Matthew Baker Report post Posted July 11, 2007 Seems ages since I was at a sports day. Actually it is 2 years thinking about it as they had one at the school I volunteered at in Kenya. They told me if I wanted I could participate in the cross country. I politely refused the offer. (Think a run down the edge of a cliff face. Then to a village on the top of the hill across from the school along really nice rough tracks and roads. Up hill on the way there. Then back upto the plateau the school was on. Was miles literally.) The students were very good and I went to a few of the local and regional events with them as I students progressed up through them. Before that it is probably back to when I was at secondary myself. There for some unknown reason (I think it was because I liked my head of house so much and would do anything to please him) I would often go out as an extra person incase anyone dropped out. I wasn't very sporty at school and had a habit of ending up with long distance races that I really hated doing. Still never refused. If I was asked and felt I could do it (which I always could - time was more the question - you always got at least 1 point for participation) I took part. (Still rather like that today. Like helping when I can. Will normally accept a request if it seems reasonable.) Can't really rememeber much about the primary school ones. Seem to rememeber they were more varied and a lot of more interesting events that didn't rely soley on athletic performances. Any way back to the main topic of the post. Congratulations to your DS. I can remember how hard events were at sports days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
