Tonight was "Dash and Dark", a series of races for kids in Bermuda in all different schools. Quinn's race was first and he had a bit of a case of nerves starting but then Mommy came with him and helped him make it all the way around the course. Then it was my turn. I had to go two laps around (800m) after I warmed up. When I was racing I felt very confident and really believed in myself to finish. I ran slowly at the start because I wanted to save up my energy but then I sped up at the end to get in front of a blue-shirted boy right at the finish line. It was so much fun for both of us. It wasn't really about who got a prize but it was all just for having fun.
Message from Quinn:
I had fun. Lots of my friends ran as well like Neil and Koki and Nia and Aliya. Next year I'll be faster. I was sad during my race but I still ran my race and I beated a boy with a grey shirt and someone else. I wish I could fly.
p.s. I liked being a pirate for character day today.
