......I set a UK aged 12 girls long jump record (later ratified as a world record !!!) of 5m 71cms and today it still stands!!!!. I'm now a typical middle aged (nearly 43) year old mum of two who likes to enjoy a glass of wine (or two !!) every now and again...but whose also very proud of her achivement all those years ago.....If I did attempt to Long Jump these days my body would collapse into a heap on the take off the board, my boobs would knock my eyes out and my backside would land about half an hour before the rest of me

it's lovely to remember though

I'm thinking of taking DS and DD to the GB v USA v China meeting in Birmingham on Sunday (if the weathers nice) as my way of celebrating...they won't know that it's mummy's anniversary but it'll introduce them into the sport that I love......

Wow - how fantastic! Don't think you've got much hope of a rain-free Sunday in Birmingham though!

maybe I'll gatecrash the Long Jump event...

"A Mumsnetter was goaded by other mumsnetters on the dedicated chat forum for mums, to relive her youth some 30 years ago, by gatecrashing the Norwich Union International event in birmingham. "Steppy1" crashed through the security barrier and ran straight to the the long jump run up, completed a 17 stride run up and tried to emulate her achievement of 30 years ago..... "

.......just dare me.......

PMSL @ your boobs knocking you out and your backside landing half an hour later
