The Amazing race

On Friday the 17 of August,  we had cross country and some of us around the school were nervous about it . The 9,10,11 boys and girls had to run into the bush walk. The bush walk leads you across the road from Tamaki College  and back into the bush walk, then it goes back into the school grounds and all the way to the finish  line.

When we started the race Mr Burt banged his clappers,  then we ran. When he did that, I ran. Then when I got half way it felt like I was actually in the Olympics running on the racecourse. When i nearly got through   the gate I almost got stuck in  the mud. I had a stitch and I just keep going until I got to the finish line.

I felt proud of myself because I could do it all by myself.
