Today has been all about sport. Will kicked off the day competing in the Hancock Half Hour, not to be confused with Hancock's Half Hour, a 5 miler with a target time of, well, about half an hour. He was aiming for 37 minutes so seemed suitably pleased when he crossed the line at 34.57, especially as it was so hot this morning.
Next up Bea, all set to compete in the Downham Games. Six sports: long jump, high jump, 100m, 400m, javelin and shot put (all in family friendly versions - they're not seriously going to invite the general public along and then play dodge the lethal pointy stick people are throwing). She was in the 8-9 age group and up against some of her Ryston Athletics Club buddies so again, pretty delighted when she came 2nd in her age group and brought home a medal for her efforts.
And me. I did my running yesterday so today was all about tennis, watching, not playing. With the men's final due to start at 2pm, I was getting just a little antsy when they still hadn't calculated the scores at the Downham Games by that time. Thankfully we were on the road by 2.40pm having only missed the first few games of what we hoped would be a British victory (let's not go there on the 77 year comments...).
I positioned myself in the garden with the iPad, fully enjoying the match and able to witness Bea hurling herself along the waterslide in the garden. By the time they reached the final set I had headed indoors for the big screen and what a final set it was.
A day of sporting achievements. Well done Andy Murray, along with 2 of the Honeybones, you did good.
