Saturday was quite busy.
First up, at 8:30am we were in Te Atatu for the Christmas Parade.
West City Youth Concert Band, which Mulan and Miya play in, set up in the park to entertain the crowds. They played one-hour-ish sessions both before and after the parade.
(Mulan's in the flute section on the near side, while Miya is on the far side with the clarinets.)
When it finished at 1pm we headed off to Pakuranga for our usual McKinnon Shield interclub athletics competition. The results are here.
For our first event, Mulan and Miya were in the same 80m hurdles race together. Into a strong head wind they both had pleasing times, with Mulan getting 15.05sec and Miya getting a PB of 16.70sec.
I pushed myself with a 60m sprint (8.64sec) quickly followed by a 100m sprint (13.81sec).
We all then finished off with a triple jump together.
Delightfully, Miya got a new PB of 9.02m while Mulan got a solid 9.41m (again into a head wind). These were good enough to get both Mulan and Miya onto the Auckland ranking lists (they are now on the ranking lists for two events each!). Still recovering from my sprints, I only managed 9.60m.
(At the same time Mulan's two-year-old Under 14 Auckland record of 9.32m was finally beaten; the new record 9.67m could be a challenge for Miya to beat!)
It must have all been too much for me. Arriving home around 6:30pm I had a migraine, which put me out of action for the next 36 hours.
