Cross Country

Yesterday was a huge day for us. Cross Country was on and some people dawdled and ran. I couldn't believe that the 10year old girls were racing. We waited for a little while. Then Mr Burt said "ON YOUR MARKS GET SET GO!!!." Then some of the girls started sprinting and all of a sudden they started stopping at the corner.

I was still jogging and focusing on myself. .As I was jogging it felt like my heart was beating so fast. The mud oozed between my feet. I stood in this huge puddle.As the water splashed on my muddy legs while I was running.Once I got out of school I started running fast and started catching up to Helen T. I started to run even faster and Helen said "wait Robin" and I started to ignore her and run off. I caught up to Huia, and all of a sudden Huia started to stop. I was nearly up to the finish line I ran through the park and to the finish line. When I got to the finish line I realized that I came 3rd. When I got to the finish line I was exhausted and happy with myself and others.
