Top of the South Secondary School Cross Country Ch

Son C went to Marlborough today with a couple of other students to compete in the Top of the South Secondary School Cross Country Champs. Even though he is only 15, he had to run in the under 19 senior age group, and run a total of 6km - two laps around the course.

C was placed 7th out of 19 runners, completing the course in 25 mins 12 sec. The first place getter ran the course in 24 minutes, so C did really well, especially when a lot of the course was up hill, and it was at a fast race.

This photo was taken by Farmerboy who went to Marlborough to watch C run. C is the second runner in this photo - just about to come over the finish line.

I'm in Nelson until Friday at a Conference with TeeJay and another couple of people from our school. We were stuck in the 5pm traffic tonight, dribbling along ever so slowly. It really makes me appreciate living in the country, and not having to worry about such things!
