Ready, Set, Clap… and off we all ran. Chasing behind one another being careful not to tread on other and not to be trodden on. For the first 40 meters I was following behind Holly, Holly, Piper, Jess and Brooklyn, around the bottom field around the middle one and up the top all following each other like a herd of elephants. Around the top of the top field I overtook Jess and Brooklyn and when I went down the hill I got in between 20 meters of overtaking Piper. I went around the bottom field and into the forest my breaths coming out quick and sharp. Once I was in the forest I quickened and started to quieter my steps like a cat stalking on its prey aka overtaking Piper.
Out of the forest and into the daylight my eyes still adjusting all I had to do was go up around the middle field and down around the bottom so I kept on running ignoring the pain in my stomach the stitch that was splitting in two and separating on each side. Almost at the end and I was ready for it to be over so I picked myself up crossed the finish line not caring if I beat Piper, once I crossed the line I was feeling drained so walked over to my bag packed up congratulated Holly and Holly got my brother and sister and my dad drove Finn and Lily and I home I got some food then went to bed and woke up at 7:00pm. Overall I was very proud that I had completed 3 km and that I was going through to tri schools.
Emma, you can be very proud of yourself. You were very determined to complete the cross country. Next time before you post have a quick proofread for sentence length. I had to hold my breath for the second to last sentence.
