"So warm up." he said, he was older than Daddy, sort of a Yorkshireman, big powerful.I climbed out and did my warm up exercises Miss Higginbotham had ...aught me, running on the spot, star jumps etc. and then when the blood was pumping I said "Ready when you are."He just said "Go," no ready set, just "Go," so I went, luckily the turf was springy as I sprinted and I just lunged for that gate."Back go!" he ordered and I sprinted back, I was gasping for breath as I got back."What the hell did they.
