'Dads' race at school sports day put me in A&E'
By Joanne MacaulayTwo Scottish dads have issued a warning to other parents about the potential dangers attached to school sports day.Scott Hollas from Fort William ran his way to the A&E waiting room after joining in his daughter's school race.
Dreams of winning like three-time Olympic champion Shelley-Ann Fraser Pryce did at her son's sports day in April should be that - dreams.When Scott, 49, took part in the dads' race at his daughter's first sports day, he did not expect to become a local parent race legend. "The skin just kept rising. My wife took me to A&E at the Belford hospital and I fainted three times with the pain.
He said: "I had this memory of victory at my daughters' nursery school sports day six years before and I though I could replicate this in front of a larger crowd. Donald finished the race but then collapsed three times on his way home and an ambulance had to be called."There's massive pressure in this situation and this is a great opportunity for kudos," he said.
