both come second.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
But then initially Indy thought she had come third because
she was told she'd come third. Oh yeah, I thought
it was a second. But they're telling me third and
so sore loser. Then we were like, she can't take bad.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
Juicy, that juicy doing cross country. So I kind of
wove around on itself, this path and the track they ran,
and at one stage it kind of came close to
the finish line and then went way away again.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Right. It turns out the girl that the teachers were
like wow, she came first, was coming dead last and
just got to that point was like, I don't see
the point of running all that way. I'm just going
to cut across. Sure, cut and she sure kind of
short bigger, pardon do you cut it? And ran through
the finish line and the teachers are like wow first
and then apparent of this girl didn't know how to
tell them. She was just like, no, I had enough.
(02:56):
So she's like yeah, she.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Was getting the adulation and she's like she get exposed.
She loved it.
Speaker 5 (03:02):

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Later on someone said, oh, but she can't come first
because she just kind of gave up and cut across.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
They were all late. Yeah, so what was she disqualified? Yeah,
she fucking cheated.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
She literally cut out like two thirds of the cross country.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
You can't be mean to kids anymore. I'm surprised they
didn't just ingenuity. Yeah, I think.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I might have done something like this as a kid.
I have a vague memory of doing a triathlon. You'd
swim at the pole and run, or maybe it was
just a bike race, but I remember being on my
purple bike from the warehouse and I remem becoming third
in the bike part of this thing, right, and me
being like, how did that happen? And then people talking
(03:46):
about it later about this bit that I definitely hadn't done.
And I feel because a bike around eat One because
was just like a small little town, and I remember
being like, I don't think I did all of that,
but I just think I didn't mention it.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Where it looped around on itself in like a figure
eight you were, I see them going that way, so
tear drop at the bottom.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Of the ages.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Yeah, I think so something like that, And a memory
of being like and I think I just like never
told anyone that I didn't pass Jamie's dad, who was
at the point that turned you around or something I
didn't see Colin.
Speaker 1 (04:16):

to get They was talking about going to zones, but
then they were both like, we don't want to do that.
I was like your zhone. That's where you go to
race against. You know, when you're at My primary school
was small. If you were good at something in my
primary school, you'd be like, maybe I'm the best in
the world of this yea seven kids I compete against,
Maybe I'm the best. And then you go to like
(04:45):
mal which was very small, like regionals, and you just
get fucking placid.
Speaker 1 (04:51):

best in the world, you're a cloud night when you
found out you weren't even like in the top fifty
