Cross Country

On Friday it was Cross Country for Pt England School. I am a year 8 and this was my last year for Cross Country and of course I did my best in Cross Country. The year 8 girls went last for the run but that didn't stop us from having fun while running last. As soon as Mr Burt said 1, 2, 3 all I could hear was a bang and all of us girls ran as fast as we could but me on the other hand I was so tired I just wanted to stop but I had to try my best especially since it was my last year for Cross Country. Once my second lap was all most over I just needed to past the gate and sprint to the finish line. All I could hear was people cheering for me and the other girls I was running with which was Finau, May, Raewen, Marilyn & Jessica. My stitch just couldn't go away but that didn't stop me from beating the girls. As soon as we past the gate we all sprinted it and she ran past the park which was pretty sore because we were running on bark but anyway all I could see was the finish line and all I could think about is running towards it so I could finally stop. I was so happy because I was behind the girls but in the end I bet them. I felt so happy that it was finally over and I felt to happy that the parents and teachers encouraged me and the girls and the rest of the school to run and to try our best and I really liked the advice they gave us like be selfish with your running and support our mates but don't stop to chat with them. 

Cross Country

First the year 1's went to run and the year 7's were getting ready to run after the year 5's.Us girls we worming up, cheering for the younger kids. I was so nervous. When it was the year 5's to run it made me even more and more nervous.

After the year 5's ran it was time for the year 7 girls.I was so nervous to run but before we ran Mr Burt gathered all the year 7 girls and he told us when and what to do.As soon as Mr Burt said on your marks get set and he clapped the 2 woods together and all the girls ran their hardest.

As we were running I could hear people cheering and shouting peoples names and that made us girls happy and encouraging us to run faster. As soon as I ran past the black gates I was so tiered but I didn't stop I was power walking along with the other girls.

Finally I was up to my second lap and I was so happy because it was nearly over. I was running with some girls and we were trying our best and pacing ourselves too.But as I was running all I could think about is stopping but the girls I was running with reminded me about the korero which was champions never give up and that made us run faster.

Finally, I was running towards the finish line and as soon as it was over I went to drink some water and that made me feel so happy that it was over and I felt so proud.So when I was cooled down I started cheering for the rest of the girls and boys who were still running.
