1. Everyone admired the fresh new lines on the field.
2. It was usually on an unbelievably hot day.
3. But it would somehow still rain a bit.

4. You turned up decked out in your house colours.
5. And did every race wearing these.
6. These guys played a vital role in most events.
7. Someone got accused of cheating on the egg and spoon race.
Dropping your egg in the Egg and Spoon Race on Sports Day and feeling more like you had just dropped your dignity
A sly thumb on the egg or a bit of blu-tack, there was always some cheaky bastard you suspected of cheating.
8. Everyone developed different techniques that were guaranteed to win the sack race.
9. The three-legged race ended in at least one fight.
10. Someone tripped in the skipping race.
11. Your teachers invented a bunch of random sports.
12. And there was some sort of really complicated obstacle race involving every single piece of equipment from the PE cupboard.
13. Some parents got way too into it.
14. And the parents' race always got completely out of hand.

It's all chill til someone's dad rocks up to the start line wearing running shoes and an Iron Man finishers t-shirt.
15. But nothing was more competitive than the teachers' race.
Had a great day at The Bridge Community School sports day with @asdaactive. The teachers joining in with their race.
16. Some kid would probably injure themselves.
17. You got completely off your face on orange squash after your race.
18. Someone cried because they didn’t win.
19. And you felt like an absolute hero if you won a race.
20. But then were super disappointed when you found out your prize was a rubbish sticker.
Gotta be proud of my 2nd place finish in the obstacle race at a school's sports day. Can't beat getting a sticker too!
21. Unless you went to one of those schools where there were no winners.
