Out of my depthAs a schoolkid, I signed up for a public speaking contest purely as a ruse to meet girls. It haunts me still: in front of 300 people, I started to speak, dried up, stood there for what felt like half an hour staring at the floor and then slowly walked back to my seat. Oh, and the girl I liked laughed.
Have you ever been utterly, completely, devastatingly out of your depth?

Ages ago at the Scottish Schools Althetics Championships......I was taking part in the triple jump and I had to ask the organisers to move the take-off line forward because I knew that I wouldn't even reach the sandpit.
I didn't win.
