I thought that was Stratos story ?
Might have been, not sure now. Although in Italy they probably just bought them lunch and didn’t bother with the rest.
I thought that was Stratos story ?
I’ve a similar story. I mainly used to do 100,200,400 and relay. But I could throw the discus and do a bit of high jump. It was usually the top 2 from each school but sometimes they would let a 3rd in if there wasn’t enough numbers. So I would fill in for the points.I used to be half decent at Javelin and Discus at school. We had a PE teacher who didn’t think 13 year old would know how to throw or have the strength to throw the javelin very far.
However, at football we always launched the corner flags pretending they were javelins. So basically I’d had about 6 years of practice before they let us loose on the real thing.
Cutting a long story short. We all stood in a line and had to thrown the Javelin down the school field. The PE teacher was 25-30 meters away. Most javelins barely made 20 meters.
So the PE teacher was not paying much attention when I launched my effort.
A second after I had most of us screamed “SIR!!!!!” as he turned his head my javelin whizzed past his face and landed 5 or so meters past him!
He was a bit taken aback but everyone got a Super House Point for (in his words) saving his life!
He admitted to me a couple of year later that he actually had nightmares about the incident.
So did you park your yacht on the wrong side or can you walk on water too?Nice to be able to walk around again.
Beautiful day.
