Cross country- recount

• It was sunny but a cold day
• It was fun
• Heaps of mud
• Losing shoes
• The Cutler’s farm

It was a sunny but cold day at the Cutler’s farm. Once I heard year 6 girls my heart was beating I walked over to the start where we went to go and take photos, I struck two poses nervously. As we walked over to the actual starting line my heart was racing.

I heard Mrs. Watson say ready… set… go!!! I ran as fast as I could placing second place until somebody zoomed past me well I was slowly jogging. The mud tried to take my shoes but I jumped and just missed the puddle of mud. As I was running I saw a plank I was thinking of walk the plank it was a really thin plank that everyone crossed and I safely walked and thanked Mrs. Wright who was there helping and carried on.

Piper and I were coming third and then fourth overtaking each other, at the end I placed fourth overall I was so proud of myself that means I could go to zones and compete with other schools, I was impressed that I came fourth and ran 3km’s. I had the most tiring but funniest time at cross country ever.
