Cross Country

 On Wednesday, we walked to the cross country track. I was nervous, stretching before the race made me feel better. "On your marks, get set, GO!" Off I went running my hardest, coming round the first corner. Then, Jogging the uphill and sprinting the down. I had a good method going, until then came 'the dip' this is what slowed me down, that down, then up, was horrible. I sprinted all the way till my first lap was done.

At this point, I kept going and made my way to the finish. I was totally exhausted but proud. "Yes!" I said, as I gulped my water like a thirsty camel, after a 100 day trek across the Saharah desert. The rain was now spitting and it was starting to get cold. LUckily, it was time to head back to school. As I had brain break, I felt very happy finding out I came 10th.

   

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.

😃Cross country 2019 😃

At school today, we had cross country. We had to run one km and five hundred meters. "GO KARORO!" yelled Momo.  The year sixs went 
first,"GO ZIGGY".  When it was my turn I was nervous  I was gonna come last.
"On your marks, 
set, GO!" shouted Nic,
and we where off, Rori was coming first.
 I caught up to Reef, we ran together.
 Reef and I passed Noa and Trey, but just about passed Momo. I ran as hard as I could, but still couldn't pass him.
 I was so puffed,
my mum shouted,  "GO Buddy!" I'm on my last lap. I was puffed, yes I finished!

😁 THE END 😁
