Urmm. Track and Field.
I was advised prior to my first days of High School to join X-Country
our school was a rugby school, and if you didn't want to play rugby you were, erm, one of the outsiders. Or hockey if you were a girl (isn't thatright caz? if you're still on the list...). Naturally, i was an outsider. We had to do x-country in PE though and i hated it because i always was frail and fey. Then when i was around 14 i started cycling a lot, and i actually got pretty fit. Anyway, I used to have PE with all the rugby team, and then we'd be doing sprints and stuff and i was beating them easily, and doing high jump, again beating them easily, or hurdles... anything really. They were all a bit put out i think. Anyway, when it came to getting our school reports, all the other kids who played rugby got 'excellent' for their PE report and i only ever got 'satisfactory', even though i was faster and fitter than most of them. I kinda laughed but it still made me mad. erm, you didn't really want to know all that did you? the duke.
