      You were so fast on the runs, that was crazy!

      You were around 150m ahead of me on the second run and you finish with at least 300m ahead of me on the last run!!!!

      CRAZY!

    Great finish Beth! πŸ™‚ I would like a rematch at the shot putt though.

    1. Something as important as third grade shot put placements can never be done again. You’ll just have to suck it up and accept that I beat you (even though you won first place in every event in every grade from K-12 except for that event…well, that’s not the point:)
      Thanks for the encouragement last night…it pulled me through! You can still run like a cheetah!

    Thanks Pierre! I paced myself off of you on the first one. Sorry about the good mornings…I might have miscounted..if I did, I did 3 extras on the last round.

    Hey Gillyon, I am sorry about that! I felt bad afterwards to tell you that!
    I am a bit competitive…. just once in a while!! πŸ˜‰

    You probably did the right amount of GM and I did more than I was supposed to! πŸ˜‰
