Junior Stragglers

I thought I would run with Child 3 (age 6) tonight. Junior Stragglers at the Hawker Centre is great fun. A 2km course, where the children have a time handicap. Child 3 moaned all the way round and quit at 1.6km. Child 2 (age 6) and child 3 (age 9) crossed the line together in third place. After the "photo finish" the judges awarded the 3rd place to Child 2 (age 6). So I had one happy child and two miserable children. "Great fun!" Ah well they will have to learn to deal with disappointment in life soon enough. Away for a G&T to relax.
