Athletics Writing

Clap! The hurdle race starts! I start in third. On the first hurdle I jump too high. I slow down too much. At the second hurdle I jump well. but not well enough. On the third hurdle I jump perfectly and gain speed.

I start to catch up to graceon and Hadley. I can see the finish line more easily. With about two metres to go I catch up to graceon. Yeah! I beat him by about 5 centimetres!

I think I'm a practitioner.
I've chosen this because I have had some good work. I didn't have enough time to have some audience interaction though. this would have improved my results.

HomeFun Percentage

85% is my result. this is my worst by quite a way. I don't think this will happen again. I need to check the SDL board each day to see if there is anything i need to do.
