Cross Country.

When cross country started, I was so nervous, I had butterflies in my stomach. Even after all those trainings I had, I was still shaking with fear. Finally the day had come for cross country.

Students at Pt England come in their house colors to race there are only 4 colors that Tainui, Takitimu, Matatua, Tearawa. Everyone sites in their rows up to year 1 to 8. First to starts off are the year 1 kids to year 8.

Finally it’s the year 7 and 8 turn to run. “READY, SET…. GO!” Mr Burt yells and we all start running as fast as we can. First comes Iisa and Lee, second Damien, 3rd Jordan. They were all running their best but I was so puffed and tired

I ran so fast like Usain Bolt. Lots and lots of mud went all over me. I just couldn't wait until was finish. We had to run all over the mud it was annoying and agitating because my feet was going in the mud.

“GO, GO, Hiwarau!” my friends yell, even my cool cousin Mele. She was cheering me on, that’s what made me happy when people cheer me to keep running.

When the race was over I was so tired but lucky I didn't wear my shoes or my shoes will get stuck in the mud. I was so exhausted that the race was over. And when I looked at the back of my pants the were soggy and muddy and wet.
