Was he a butcher?

I think so, I heard another dad say he'd got a steak in him winning.

It's not compulsorary! But my son is ridiculouly proud of me when I have go!

Until yesterday its always been a streight running race which I always came last in (apart from the year another mum fell over!), even when I'm at my fittest.

Running fast is not my biggest strength! Luckily my ex husband is like Sheffields answer to Usain Bolt (a bit) and always wins the dads race, so the shame is easier to bear!

Yesterday was an obsicle race, there was some terrible cheating, lane swopping it was chaos. But I didn't come last! And when I looked round my son had a big grin on his face and gave me the thumbs up!

Last night in a post race digest he said "well you have been in hospital, Mum", so he's using it as a convenient excuse too, quite obliterating from memory that I always come last anyway :laugh:

I did the staff race one year where I used to work, and I came second, but only because it was total carnage at the beginning as everyone tried to get a good getaway, meaning that I didn't.
By the time I did get going, I was rapidly catching up the leader, but the finish line came up before I could pass them.

This being staff, it was everyone, so I got beaten by a woman.... Not that I minded, I had the excuse of not getting away properly, but one of the kids then slagged me off for being beaten by a woman Who said sexism was dead? :rolleyes: (To be fair, he was about 7, but, still!).
