Sprints evening
Tired!
By the end of the evening we all felt tired.
We have been timekeeping at the last of the indoor sprints meetings of this winter.
Being the last opportunity for club sprinters to race until the summer season, the evening attracted a lot of runners.
There were about 65 races altogether.
By the end the timekeepers bodies and brains felt stiff.
But we are glad to contribute to the sport and to feel we are doing something for other people.
There was one girl this evening who is in training for the 2012 paralympics. It was important to her to have a form filled in to record her progress.
I hope she does well and makes it into the UK team - and we will look back and know that we played a very small part.
It is late now - Bill has made a cup of tea; so I will not bother with activities of the day.
More bathroom work, more Ebay describing, shopping in Lidl - that sums it up.
Goodnight.
