2014 Cross Country

Do you know what is on the 11th of september? The 2014 cross country!

“Year 8 boys” said Mr Jacobson. That was our queue. Going to the start line just waiting for Mr Burt to slam his blocks together.

As soon as he slammed the blocks I decided to jog. Because I think if you sprint at the start you will waste all your energy. When I got to a muddy patch I ran through but as I ran mud was flicking in my face that was a bad distraction.

My mate (Logan) and I thought that if we stayed together we would make to the end. As I was running I was huffing and puffing and I said to my mate “I can’t do this” but he said I can do this. As I got to my second lap I felt a burst of energy to run the whole way

Eventually my mate and I came 7th equal.

We stopped and we were told that we could go and get a drink of water. So there I went and I got a cup of water and poured it on my face.

I never ever thought I will come in a place like that, hope to try next year at college!
