Cross country training

 Panting, gasping for breath, my legs were on fire, a waterfall of sweat dripping down my face. "Me haere, me haere!" I said to myself, I pushed through the exhaustion with my first lap done. I ran down the ditch falling over half through the steep part recovering only just. The air felt heavy, almost like a truck was on my back.

I got around Koka Pip, she said "keep running", it was intense, I couldn't hear anything else except my own thoughts. Coming around Koka Rozie for the second time "home stretch" she said. I zoomed down the ditch, not falling this time.

I was coming through the bollards, I shot off like a racecar "YES! YES!YES!" I'm finally done. I fell to the ground, it felt like I had jumped in a volcano, getting harder and harder to breath. A wave of relief rolled over me I layed and waited for everyone else to finish.

WE LOST

 We lost our rugby game because it was a grading game which means if had won we would have to face way harder teams.  But now we get to face teams at our level, and the score 55-60 so only by 1 point. Get ready for next game where facing Makaraka I think.

 I think we did really well though, we blowed over had some good tackles and even got some points so I'm stoked with it and I'm sure the rest of the team is.
