School Cross Country

Blue,Red,Yellow and green, It was what everyone was wearing, Sitting on the court waiting for the year 7’s to take off,”bang” as  they took off I saw many other Year 5's and 4's coming back so tired, I ask myself ''How am I going to run all that way without getting puffed out”?

Soon all of the year 8’s stood up to go in their starting position,I was confident until I saw many fit people challenging against me,”Bang”we all took off jogging until we got near to the reserve, buufff! one went past then another ,then another soon I just got tired and started to jog but I did not give up, I caught up to one of our runners and it was Havea, We just ran and ran but we always ran into people so I started to slow down and Havea took off .

Soon I ran into a massive puddle. I got sucked in the mud and it nearly took my shoe off , Soon my shorts were covered with black brownish slimy gunch of mud but its was still fun. Pushing my exhausting body to my limit I sadly came 4th but I still go to the Inter-zone. I am not proud of myself because I could do better but next time I will start training more.

Thanks to Stevie and Samson for checking my work.
