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.
