Friday 12 February was the date of the school triathlon, everybody was sitting under the shade and listening to Mr Taylor giving the briefing. Everyone was watching, their eyes glued to the start line, the first race was about to begin - "On your marks, GO!
They were racing down the field, eager to come first. They were nearing the final lap. They were all red in the face. They jumped on their bikes and pedalled with all their might. The field was lumpy and not the easiest or fastest surface to ride on. Finally they arrived at the transition and leapt off their bikes, threw off their shoes and helmets to race around to the pool for the third and last section - a refreshing swim. There wasn't much space for overtaking competitors in the pool so the gaps betwween competittors closed up at times and the final sprint to the finish line got very exciting for some age groups as students battled it out for first place.
What a great afternoon, what a great event and what great kids.
