Well, I must say I'm not sure how we managed to pull it off, but we got through our Relay event without a drop of rain. It was a fantastic day which started at 5am for myself and Mr de Thierry. We still weren't absolutely sure we were goires ng ahead, so wanted to check out the track before people started arriving at 6am.
Driving around the track to turn the self generated lights on was nerveracking. I held my breathe most of the time, as I didn't want the tyres to sink in, or hear the water because I really wanted the day to go ahead.
Although it started off a little mist, it soon turned into a thick layer of fog. It was a real delight when eventually the blue sky shone though.
The first couple of hours went by quite quickly with our students starting off with a hiss and a roar. By 9.30am many of our students were on a go slow and had run out of steam. Once we started giving teams the number of laps completed by all teams, it turned into a competition and the pace turned up. The last 4 hours was extremely competitive, with teams working more strategically by placing runners along the track to complete laps a lot quicker than before.
All in all, it was a very successful day and I look forward to the PMI by staff and students to set us up for more improvements on this event next year.
