It was a blazing hot day as i work up feeling confidence for school cross country to run in the reac so i got out of bed a go really. but i don’t care was people tell me that i can't do it or cane 1th as i was thinking. I did it care what i come in the Cross country i’m Champions As we all got really for cross country we had team name and my team was Te Aurere As Mrs Brut was tell as if you are big it does meter if you come need plats as long you never give.
The other year groups were going one by one boys they girls we were now only left with year 7 and 8 boys and girls still waiting in the sunny, then the countdown started with the year 7 boys going first out of the seniors “CLAP!” the year 7’s raced off to the course with two laps to start with ,minuets later the year 7 girls went to the starting with.
They is was time to start the race for the year 7 girls really “CLAP!” with two block then they Raced to the first checkpoint they had to run two laps like the 7 year boys. And minutes later then it was the year 8 boys turn we all stood up walking in a line to the starting line. As we stopped I started feeling butterfly they it started to go quiet “CLAP!” the race was off with everyone around me and trying to beat everyone else.
We passed the four checkpoints and then we went onto the big field and it started getting harder because I tried my hardest to not stop in the sun where is was hot, as we passed checkpoints under the trees then I started to cool of.
Then I passed the last checkpoint and then on to lap 2 then it started getting more hard because my legs started to feel like jelly but I always remembered “Champions never give up” and it kept repeating in my head with supporters on the side yelling “Go Red!” in the background I also heard “Go John Lee!” and I looked off to the side and I saw my parents cheering me on, then I started run faster and I passed more people then I also heard “CLAP!” I looked off to the side once more and I saw the Year 8 girls running and that told me I had to keep running.
As soon as I made it to the Pt England Reserve once more time to finish it off,then I met up with my friends and we all jogged together until we got near the finish i started to sprinting leaving my friends be behind and as soon as i passed the park I knew it was over but I also remembered “Champions never give up” then I started giving it my hardest and at last second i just passed my friend by and inch, while huffing and puffing I knew it was over and i was proud of myself giving it my best in the Cross country as i was drink water.
