Fortunately the forecast rain held off today which was great news given that it was the school sports day. I had managed to work it so that I could work from home today which meant I could watch all their races and stay for a picnic lunch with them afterwards.
Joshua competed in the hurdles for his first event where he placed 2nd. Then he had the sprint race which he came in 4th. So one silver medal for Joshua. Brandon came 3rd in the obstacle race and then 3rd in the long distance, so two bronze medals for Brandon. I felt Brandon was a little unlucky in the long distance as he was cut off on the track and just sat back too much for the first 3 laps leaving his turbo sprint finish a tad late. But he still did very well in a very competitive race which had the most runners out of every event that day.
Its always good to watch the kids on sports day and both of the boys did us proud and gave it their all. Both have an outstanding record of taking medals at every sports day since starting school. I think Joshua was a bit disappointed with his sprint and now wants to switch back to long distance next year.

| Its not often you don't see Joshua on the podium, but he gave it his all. |

| Very proud of our boys keeping up their track record of medals at every school sports day. |
