X-Country

On Friday the 13th of August the senior school did X-Country. We walked down to Minogue Park. Minogue Park is a dog walking park and some owners do not pick up the dog bi,z so we had to be careful to not stand in anything.  When we arrived the track was already set up so we just sat down on the tarp and wait for the first group to get warmed up.  My group was the 10 year old girls.  The 10 year old girls were the third group to race.  When we were lining up and waiting for Mr Peachy to do the clap the clappers I was just like "clap the clappers already" in  my head.  Then Mr Peachy said " on your mark... get set...           GO!!!!"  My trick was to just jog at the start instead of sprinting and wasting all of my energy, because I had to run 2 Kilometres!!!! On my first lap around I was coming 10th until I was running down the hill.  When I was running down the hill I was going so fast I couldn't stop myself.  At the bottom of the hill I just about fell over.  At the end I ended coming 9th : ) : ) : )!!!! I was very proud of myself.
