C0UNTRY
Hi everyone! Today, on Tuesday the 20th of August 2019, it was the school cross country, and in the morning koka Ngaire said we had to leave to leave to cross country. Then we started the long walk to Pines. when we got to the course the year 6 girls went first, then after their first lap, year 6 boys were called up to go. We lined up, and then... BANG! We were off. At the beginning it was hard to keep up because there was so many people sprinting and pushing each other but then when things settled down and once everybody started trying to keep their places I started to gain more speed.
For most of the time it was hard to catch up with the person in front of me,but I persevered and by the second lap I zipped in front of him. when I went past my friends and family they cheered, that made me go a little bit faster. In the end I was surprised and proud of myself because I came 9th out of all 24 people!
I thought cross country was challenging because there are heaps of fast boys in my year.It was my last cross country and I tried my hardest.
