Today Brandon had his annual sports day which seems to have come around very quickly. For the last 2 years both the boys have had their sports day on the same day, this year is the first where they are on two separate days making it difficult for me to see both of them with work commitments. This year it seems that the boys have hardly done any practise for sports day and it was only last night that Brandon sprung it on us that he was doing skipping and sprint!!!! Firstly I didn't know he could skip and secondly why would he choose sprint when he is so much better at long distance.
Anyway his first race of the day was the skipping race and despite a poor start laving his in about 3rd or 4th place, he stormed through the take an easy win and the gold medal. His second race was the sprint and he gave it 100% but managed to only finish about 4th or 5th. I think he would have been so much better at the long distance. The sprint race was very close and I think he was looking around too much and not concentrating on his own race. In the final 20m he knew it was close and started to get across lanes in a desperate effort to place in the medals. This just caused about 3 or 4 of them to have a bit of a bump and grind over the finish line.
Very proud that he came away with a gold medal today and now I have Joshua's sports day to look forward to tomorrow. He is doing the hurdle race and the long distance.
