Seb Coe he ain't!!

Peter ran for Holy Cross College in a recent ACC event.
He trained every Tuesday and Thursday for 6 weeks, getting up at 6am, to be at school for 7. They ran circa 6kms those mornings in preperation for the event. Dedication or what?
Go on my Son, lift them weary legs.
The race itself was over 6kms, classed as cross country, but not a speck of mud in site. Not like in my day!
Not far now, Go Skezza.



We went to watch him in a recent race at his school. Was very very impressed when he cam in second overall. Our expectations for the ACC event were certainly heightened I can tell you.
Well he finished 2nd, unfortunately there was a 3 and a zero before the two, 302nd!!!!! I asked him how many ran in total, he said he didn't know, 'cus they ran out of tickets at 310!!!! bless.
Glad thats over.



We did all the parent thing, 'Never mind at least you tried' 'Well done, there were a lot of HCC pupils who didn't even compete' 'You did really well' 'Really proud of you son' Then of course you must ask, 'Did you enjoy it?'
An emphatic 'NO' , well at least he was honest!
My face goes that colour when I exert meself!!!!

This was an under 13 race!!!!
