Crosscountry at Jells Park


Blake was up bright and early Saturday morning to run the 1000 metre cross country race. It was a beautiful crisp clear morning and the grounds were perfect. Not vcry hilly as in the previous weeks. He was the fourth race and it was "Bring a Friend Day". Off they went and Blake placed first place out of 58 kids. He had very hot competition with an under nine girl who was in front of him over half the race. Well Mr Competitive was not going to let this young lady win.. no way!! Too funny...he worked hard to get in front of her and placed first. See the picture .. she was driven to beat him too. What fun it was to cheer them on and right before the finish line he looked over his shoulder to see his lead on her only to realise she was right there lol.. he almost lost the race to her but prevailed in the end. Nick said she was very dissappointed that she lost due to her being in the under nines which is the older age group. She had missed her earlier race and was allowed to run in the under 7 - 8 age group race.
Well we miss everyone and hope to hear from you all soon. Chat soon. xox Kaz
