This is a question School Sports Day

At some point in the distant past, someone at my school had built a large concrete tank behind the sheds and called it a swimming pool. Proud of this, they had a "Swimming Sports Day" in which everyone had to participate, even those who couldn't swim (they got to walk across the shallow end of the tank).

This would probably have been OK if the pool hadn't turned a deep opaque green the night before due to lack of maintainance. Even the school sports stars didn't want to go near the gloopy mess in the pool. We were practically pushed in. I'm sure some of the younger kids never surfaced again and the non-swimmers looked petrified.

Tell us your sports day horrors.

I've never been much of a winner...
....but one time, in the distance past, my chance came - I was winning a running race.... the glory was mine for the taking, all I had to do was keep my head up, and go for gold!

However, seems I was so far ahead of everyone, I got lonely, and stopped, and waited, for my friend to catch up, who promptly over took me, and won.....

.......These days I've developed a knack for not applying myself, abd I don't know that boy anymore....and I certainly haven't won anything since then........

Curse my youthful innocence,
