My Cross Country!

On Wednesday we had our Kapiti cross country🏃. There were over a thousand kids there! They were all representing there school, I was representing Waitohu with the other kids.  As I wait for my race I watch the year 3, 4 and 5's. Next race was us.We are doing 2 laps of the Waikanae field and it is 2km. We All year 6 boys finish the warm up and take our position on the starting line. We wait for the siren to go of. Boom! we all dart of and pick our pace up. Heading up A hill I do want my mum told me to.  After we finish running up the hill it's all down hill. I head up the hill  for the second time it was so hard getting up there! finally up the hill, I start pushing it. There are 4 people in front of me. I try my hardest to catch up to them but it's to late their already past the finish line. I came 5th place out of a 100 kids. It took me 8 minutes to run it. I felt really tired and happy when I finished it. Have you done a cross country?
