Tri schools cross country 

Take your marks... Get set... Anticipation  was building up inside of me. BANG. The clappers slapped together. It was a mix between a sprint and a run confused how fast I should be starting. I slipped in behind Katie everyone could tell she had already won before we had even started. We ran up the mud slush hill, trying to doge the ankle rolling holes and ledges leading to a confusing pathway down. Around the gorse under the trees finally a break from the burning sun. Come on keep going you can do it just keep a good pace doesn't matter where you come just finish I kept repeating these words in my head. We came to miss Hanna come on girls strait up the hill "What? why are we going up the hill" said Katie. "I thought we were supposed to go around the corner." I said. "Ohh no girls sorry your ment to around the corner". "Dang it  this is so dumb" Katie grumbled. We came back around the corner to see that everyone had caught up now we were only just in front exasted from climbing the hill. We came back around and through the start line. Now came the big laps! Up mudd slush hill again trough the trees. This was supposed to be the time we were ment to be going strait but I had already done this. I was ok until I saw the ginormous hill we were going to climb and then started to think we had to run it twice. After another lap I was coming on to the last lap thank goodness that it was a small one. Come on almost done I kept on saying to myself you can do it. Then I was wondering what we were going to have for tea. My day dreaming was interrupted by Holly P, Emma and Jess yelling at me "come on Annabelle hurry up you can do it." I came to the last stretch before the finish. I started to sprint putting the last of my energy into the finish. I came in fifth I was happy with me result but maybe I need to pratice a bit more. I am nervous and excited to be going to Rakahuris tomorrow.
