Side Quest 14
Racing not running
The grade seven teacher in public school was known for being a fitness enthusiast.
A fellow classmate drew a funny drawing meant to pull out a laugh one day in class not long after what I'm about to write happened.
This is not that image.
One day during lunch...
I'll call the top male student in our class, Pixel J!
Pixel J and the teacher put me on the spot about racing being physically demanding.
I got all flustered. It's not exactly a secret my social skills as an adult are under-developed, I can only imagine how bad I was then.
I can imagine a ton of other interested parties that could take this debate up for me.
Pixel J: "Racing isn't physically demanding, you're just driving! That's easy!!
The teacher joins in: "Yeah! Racing isn't running!"
Me: This is less than a year after I've broken my femur bone at school rendering me unable to run.
