However yesterday was a good day despite that. Took the children to the Surrey Indoor Athletics Championships. Both were entered into the long jump. Daniel did really well jumping 5.46m for his best jump and he came fourth in the competition. It is so good to see him back in competition as he didn't do that much last year but seems to be more focused this year and wants to do some competions. Now for the reason for the photo post................Sarah has done well in the competition most years. She didn't start off well with a jump that she would have been able to do when she was an Under 13. She continued to improve however on her fourth jump, I really don't know what she did but her foot seemed to catch on the take off and she appeared to do the splits in mid air and fell FLAT into the sand. Everyone was worried that she had hurt herself however Sarah got up, as Sarah is known to do, with a beaming smile on her face. At the end of the competition Sarah finished third and won a bronze medal.
So although the photo isn't of her flat on her face it seems fitting to post it and one of Daniel landing on his jump, not brilliant as you have to be careful what pictures you take there but it shows how proud I am of both my beautiful and talented children.
We are back there this afternoon as both children are competing in the U17s triple jump competition. Lets hope the falling flat doesn't happen today.
Well done to them. We spent many hours at swimming galas with dd2- but it's a thing of the past now.
