All that glitters

I was racing at the weekend, the biggest race of the season and one for which I fought hard to regain my pre-pregnancy fitness to be able to do.

It was a very tough race. We came second (claiming two national crew scalps in the process - tee hee).

As I came back from my medal ceremony, I saw that Eve was playing with the medal of a friend of mine who won a bronze. I wandered up to them both whereupon Eve grabbed my medal from around my neck, looked at the two for a moment, and then promptly discarded the bronze.
