We participated in the Kaikoura Decathlon today! It was a small local event, taking place mostly in front of our house, and run by Ryan. There were only 3 people entered, but competition was stiff!
The events and winners were:
- Box Jump - Jacqui
- Throwing - Charlotte
- Sprinting - Scott
- High Jump - Scott (was based on % of reach, so this was pretty fair)
- Hopscotch - Charlotte
- Hill Run - Jacqui
- Toes Balance - Tie between Jacqui and Charlotte (we got bored before we got tired)
- Wall Sit - Scott
- Reaction Time - Jacqui
- Sudoku - Scott
Result of a complex scoring system (that factored in a few sub-categories and 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishes) was that Scott won by a narrow margin. Time to start training for next year!

ReplyDeleteThis could become the event of the year in Kaikoura! Perhaps a 2 day event to incorporate games as well! What a hoot!
