S.E. Cross Country




Tyson was selected to run in the South East Cross Country this year. He was excited about going, but more happy about getting out of a whole day of school. As you can see by the photo there was a lot of eager boys lined up to race. It's not the best photo but I was late getting there and had to quickly snap a shot. He had to run 1300m, which Tys said wasn't that far at all. I would have been out of breath before I even got out the first gate. After a lot of pushing and shoving they were off. Most of the boys seemed to run that distance with ease. Tyson came about mid-field. Not sure of his exact position yet, but will let you know when I find out. We think he did a fantastic job, considering there were at least 50 maybe even 60 under 9 boys running. Apart from the fact that a heavy down pour came just as the race started, Tys had a great day.

Nothing that a nice warm shower and a hot Milo couldn't fix. And getting to hang out with Dad for the rest of the afternoon.
