She had her district today. Poor her, she's cursed and always seems to get a bug before a major event.

She was home yesterday feeling terrible, and this morning she said she's OK. Not great but she'll have a go.

It was a bloody hard race but she managed to squeak in 6th, so she's off to regionals!

If I recall correctly, my daughter had to take part in "cross country" sport when at Primary School. I think that was mainly "around the oval" (many times) and everyone got a "prize" so that those who got a "stitch" and didn't finish didn't feel left out. :mrgreen:

I used to run at school, we didn't get a choice, had to do every "sport" under the sun whether we were good at it or not. I was best with the long distance (800 metres?) running, rather than the sprints, once I got going I could keep running (like that Energizer ad). ;)

She does really well, so don't put too much pressure on her to perform. She probably feels she will let you down if she doesn't "win". She is still only a little kid. Wait until she turns 12! Turning 12 is a hard time for girls (and parents). ;) Then she becomes a "teenager". :mrgreen:
