National School Sports Week - Duathlon Year 5/6

Date: 23rd Jun 2016 @ 10:22pm

Our third outing in one day found us at Hartford High School to take part in a guelling duathlon. This event consisted of the following:

1km run - 2km cycle - 400m final lap.

As you can imagine, we were all a little shocked at the distances involved and to add to our misery, the sun was beating down relentlessly. Added to this was the fact the out of the 8 athletes on our team, 6 of them had played in the football that had only finished an hour before!

Undaunted , our children ran their hearts out. Every one of them tried their hardest and pushed themselves to their limits. At one stage, my heart burst with pride as I saw Brodie, Max H and Max W cheering Will F home and running with him over the final 100 metres. Well done to Evelyn, in her first outing for Over St. JOhn's, who found it quite tough but managed to complete both the long run and the cycle. I will list the times the children ran and cycled below but the times really do not matter as each and every one of them were winners!

Fantastic Over St. John's, a delight to watch.
