I hope our school enters thing is our manager who was top class retired last year after years and years he ran free training sessions every other day was amazing. No wonder Ridgeway won the nationals a few times lol! We are not as good as we were but still scare all the other south west schools whenever we emerge through the gates lol. Normally where I get my pbs as all the girls from the school are watching lol

DickyDare Apr 2010 11:32am, 19 Apr 2010 10 posts	Quote Pin DickyDare First 800m of the season done on Saturday in...........2.02.1! A bit disappointed to not go under 2 mins but pleased with how I felt and feel its there, 1st lap slower than I wanted, completed first in 61 sec, was boxed in lying in 7th place (lack of experience definately showed) but felt pretty strong and put foot down at around 550m and finished last 200m very strongly to finish 2nd overall, a new pb by 2 sec.
