Cross Country Training

 On Friday, week 2, term 3, we went to the cross country course for the first time this year. I was excited because this is something I'm good at. The real cross country is in week 6. The teacher told us where to go but I did not listen properly because I remembered last year's course.

The teacher said ''ready set go'' I took off like a firework. I was panting, sweat was everywhere. I looked to my left, the surf was pumping. I passed Koka Rozie, she said "you're a quarter of the way there". Max and I ran down the ditch, I tripped up and landed on my back but I kept running. I passed Koka Pip, she told me to keep running. I had 1 lap left. I went down the ditch again, this time I didn't fall over. I could see the finish line. I crossed it, then I collapsed on the ground. 

As I was walking back, I thought what I could do better next time. But there wasn't too much considering that it is a 2 km run and our first practice of the year. It was fun to run the course again, I can't wait to go next Friday.
