Nigel tried his best
Today, Nigel participated in the Inter-schools Track and Field Heats (not the finals) and didn't make it into the finals. Still he came in at a respectable position in the upper half of the bunch, but unfortunately not good enough to be in the top eight. His event was the 300m race, which actually, is quite tough given it's quite a long distance to sprint.
Nevertheless, he was in good spirits and Celest and I made sure to congratulate him, give him a pat on his back and tell him to keep training for the next race. After all, I feel that every setback makes one stronger, makes one thirstier - maybe I should have made him two cups of Milo in the morning. Hmm.
