My First And Last Cross Country Race At Wainui Beach School.

On a nice Tuesday morning we traveled down to our intense cross country race. We sat down and waited for our turn. The Y6 girls were up first. As they took off we got ready for our race. We got called up and I got really nervous.

We lined up with furious faces. As we waited suddenly the two bricks collided and made a huge BANG! Everyone runs off, Ziggy, Gavin, Rylan and Toby gas it. I hung around the back at the start. I finally started to reach other people, I got in the top ten. But I started to slow down because my heel started to hurt again. 

In the race there were some good runners with not much strength. Ziggy was sick, Gavin had sore heals and Jack wacked Toby in the face while running and gave Toby a blood nose.

We went down hill I nearly fell over again, but I managed to keep my self balanced and kept running. As I passed Koka Ngaire I have to keep my pace. Then I raced down the track. I heard the cheering and screaming and I saw parents with there camera out ready for a photo of their kids. I run to the finish line, and I realised that I still have another lap to go. To be fair the same stuff happened in the second Lap.

Overall it was a great exciting day!
