Jacob's Cross Country Race

Today was the St. Joseph's School Cross Country Carnival. It takes place at the "Oval" which is also where Sam plays footy. It is a round stadium type venue. Jacob raced with the 8, 9 and 10 year old boys from our school. The course is 2 km's and basically you run the perimeter of the oval about 1 and a half times, then you enter the tunnel and race around the inside of the oval to the finish in front of the grandstand. The house teams are in the stands cheering and waving their house flags to root for their team members. Jacob came in second in the 10 year old boys division. He now goes on to the larger race which involves more school at the end of April. I guess we will need to start training harder for that. It will take place at the pony club and the course sounds a little more rugged. Congratulations Jacob!
