Challenge 366 Chairs

Well we were off to the athletics again, this time for the triple jump competitions.  Somewhere in my brain the idea had been planted that they were both jumping at 2.30.  Good job I checked the timetable as Sarah was jumping at 12.30 and not 2.30, so I would have been in the dog house for many years to come had I got that one wrong.  So back we went to our chairs in the middle of the two sandpits.  Not very comfortable and have to say I didn't use them that much but here is a photo of them.

First of all we watched Sarah and she came in third and got another bronze medal.  It was a very close fought competition as the girl who got second got the same jump of 10.08m as Sarah, however it had to go back to the next best and I think she beat Sarah by a cm.  Never mind, she was pleased with her medal win and a good start to the season.

Daniel did very well as not only did he come away with a silver medal, be broke his previous best of 10.58 by over 50cm and got his new pb of 11.17m.  He was really pleased with his performance.  He did well and his jumps were consistently over 11m which is a good sign of the new seasons achievements.  Well done to both of them, I am very proud of them both.

Well done to the rest of the East Grinstead team as we came away with a good selection of medals this weekend.
