Discus

The Colgate Games North Island children's athletics competition is in three weeks in Wellington.

We'll all be there.  (Don't worry burglars, we've arranged a house-sitter to stay and look after our cats.)  Mulan has signed up for 80m hurdles, long jump, discus, shot put and 4x100m relay.  Miya has signed up for high jump, shot put and discus.

From Wednesday, after Mulan and Miya's contemporary dance exams have happened, athletics will be our number one priority.

Today we were at the track de-rusting the discus.  Mulan has quickly got back into the swing of it, pushing the discus out to almost 25 metres, over a couple of metres more than her PB from last season.  This was her final throw today.

It's also starting to come right for Miya, with throws of almost 16 metres only a metre or so off her last season's best.  Once it clicks again she'll be getting PBs.
