It was a veritable feast of athletic goodliness at school today as the sun shone down upon the annual sports day. Much applause and heat-fatigue later and school records were broken, leading me to wonder if the pupils were really getting quicker or if standards are falling.
The final event of the day was the staff vs. sixth form relay. A race that my year sevens bullied me into participating in. It was a wonderful experience. The cheering, the encouragement, the adulation. If only I hadn't dropped the baton.
