Track & Field 2013

Seb went in for the 1500 m race this year (plus the 4 X 100 relay with his classmates). The 1500m is the longest race that the school board stages for the younger year students and the marshalling hour was 8:30. It was a glorious day when we set out at 7:10 am; we got there in high spirits and with loads of time.

Unfortunately, no one else from the school came so early, so he only had his mum and sister cheering. Even more unfortunately, he didn't run his best; he blamed it on his asthma kicking in despite having taken some medication earlier. But the little trooper finished it in decent time and as one teacher/parent said, no one from any of the grades in her school entered because it is a hard race.

He done good in my books and I think with all the school spirit (by the time I left with Sophie at 10:00), he probably had a good day.

Update: Turns out that his relay team was disqualified because he and a team mate took too long to hand over the baton... Frustrating day that was rewarded with his choice of family restaurants for dinner and him falling asleep before 9 pm (unheard of).
