On Friday Caspar took part in another of those 'fun' sporting events that every one, except us, takes very seriously. A real endurance test for the spectators who stood for 3 hours, in rain so heavy you could barely stand erect in it. For the competitors - a 50m metre swim, quick dash to put trainers on, followed by 400m run. The fastest managed it in just over 3 minutes. Caspar came in second to last with a time of 5 mins 6 secs and we reckon that it took him about 2 minutes to tie his shoe laces, it felt like 10! He is delighted with his huge medal, t-shirt and bag of goodies for taking part and is up for it again next year, but would like trainers with velcro fastenings.
