Cross country

On Wednesday the 24th of September the cross country people went to Bailey Road School to compete in the inter school.

We all got out of the bus and walked into the school.It was cold so I put my jumper on. We all got some bands with colours on them, the year six people had dark orange bands we waited and waited for our turn to run.

Me and Thomas went on the park until it was our turn. We waited for the lady to say go it took three minutes until we stared because the year six girls were still racing.When she said go we all ran I was trying to get to the front but lots of people were faster then me. I ran down a hill then up a hill which was very muddy I had bare feet because my brother had shoes on and he slipped twice when he raced.

We had to run twice round the road then up and down hills on grass and then to the finish line.I saw a guy in front of me and saw no one in front of him. I did not know if he was coming first or 4th he got to the finish line and I did to. I was so tired I was dizzy.I nearly fell on the ground. My Mum,dad,Aunty and Nana were at the finish line waiting for me the lady wrote my place on my hand and I came 5th place. Thomas came 6th and Tai came 9th so I'm proud I got that score.
