Cross Country Day

Waiting for the race to start on the courts in our age lines, we were feeling excited. First up the 10 year old boys and girls went up to the start line. The boys all ran sprinting off to win the race. As soon as they ran off the 10 year old girls were up and they ran like the boys to win the race as well.

Finally it was my turn to run. As Mr Burt clapped the clappers and all of the 9 year old girls ran off. "Race starts," I said to myself. We all ran bunched up together. In front of me was Serena and I was behind her. As I was running I was puffed because of my burst of speed. I was coming up to the finish line sprinting fast trying to come 1st but I came 4th.
