A bit late this week, but here we go – all these were taken at a schools’ athletics meeting last Saturday between Grey College, Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool (Affies) and Pretoria Boys High at Affies in Pretoria, South Africa.
Getting ready to compete
Ready ...
Steady ...
Go! (My nephew, middle, at the start of his 800m race, which he won at a canter.)
I'm ready, now where's the guy with the gun?
As ready as I'll ever be ...

Great to see them poised to race.
These are great photos! Can they really run barefoot and win?
Have a good week…

Great photos and perfect for this theme! I really like the one titled “Steady.” The boy’s glance toward the starter really is awesome! He’s the one most ready!
You captured the essence of Ready both with photography and wit! nice job.
