Cross Country

Cross Country

Last week on monday we had our cross country. I was nervous as a person doing a big speech front of the hole school. So as the year seven’s got to the starting line my friends Temauri, Maurice, PJ, Simon, Tevita, Taiaha and Tevita s said “Henry, your going to come first place because your faster than us ” . And I was “ummm i’m not sure about that so yeah” .

As Mr Burt said “on your mark, get set”then he clapped the wood. We ran fast, so one of us wanted to get to 1st place. But all of a sudden I tripped on the grass and face planted to the mud and  it was a funny moment for me.  I got up and started running and laughing with Maurice. Then after that we got focused and started to get serious.

We jogged until it was our 1st lap. As we past the finish line here goes our 1st lap. Man I was so tired that I started to sweat hard. The thing we were was sliding in the mud it was fun.

Me and my friends were stopped sliding and got focus again. It was hot man I almost stopped and walk but I said to myself “Don’t stop ” . So I didn't stop and I kept running until I got to the finish line. I was coming 4th place and I wanted get into the top 3.

When we saw the finish line I wanted to blitz but they past me. But I came 4th place It was OK at least I tried my best. After that I went had a drink, I was thirsty as.
