As I climbed into Rhianna's car on a cold,cloudy Wednesday I had two things on my mind:
1. I have approximately one and a half hours to break my leg.
2.Mother Nature please,please RAIN!!!!!
I was heading to the Domain to do Cross Country. As you can probably tell I am not very fond of it.
By the time we had got to the domain I hadn't managed to break my leg and it almost looked like it was going to be a warm day!!! We got seated by the signs but that didn't last long because the juniors had started to race. We all raced to the finish line like bees to honey to cheer them on. Time was disappearing but the nervous brick in my stomach was not disappearing any time soon.
After I had stuffed down a sausage the very organised Mrs Sutherland hearded us like sheep to where we were supposed to sit. I tried to calm my nerves but the fact it was boiling hot and we had to run 3km in a race wasn't really helping. Before I new it we were lining up, doing stretches and we were off.
We started with a lap of the rugby field. I was running with Derrin because she has the same pace as me. After a lap or so we were puffing ten to a second. We jogged into the forest and I was relieved to find that it was shady. We came out of the forest and we were hit by searing heat. We ran another 500m and then we sprinted like kids coming out of school to the finish line.
Even though I was exhausted I looked around for Haylley. She was just starting to do the last lap of the field so Holly P and I started to run with her(it probably wasn't a good thing to do on my part because I didn't have a drink).
Overall I am very proud of myself and I am so glad I don't have to do it again.
A very entertaining piece of writing. It reminds me that you all get very nervous. Thank goodness you never have to do it again. Well done for being a good sport and supporting others, this is what makes you a good role model.
ReplyDeleteOne tip - you don't need a comma before but and always have a space after a comma.

That is a very good piece of writing. I like how you said about the bees and honey. It was good that you ran with Haylley I bet that she liked it a lot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anna, you have written an entertaining piece of writing about cross country. There are not many children who do enjoy cross country. I like the way that you all put in a fantastic effort.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!!
