“Ready”...”Set”...”BANG!” goes the clapper’s . I jogged in a slow pace remembering the word that Mr Burt told us... “TAKE YOUR TIME”. Running pass the unbreathable farm I reached Miss King as she told me how beautiful I was looking and that she is keen to be in my beauty team.
Hustling in the slushy, sloppy mud I could feel the mud digging into my shoes, “AHHHHHHAAARRRR IM FINALLY HERE” I said as I was making my way to the bush walk. The feeling of my bare shoe’s on the rocky and sandy ground my feet began to lose weight. After all that exhaustion from through all that mud I finally escaped from it.
Just a few steps from Ms Squires I could see the Tamaki College gate and a few kids playing on their hard courts. After a while I could hear footsteps behind me and as I turned my head I saw the first 13 year old boy to pass me so I thought I need to speed up. A few minutes after I could hear Mr Jacobson talking through the microphone and that was a sign telling me I am nearly there. I finally got out of the bush walk passing Mr Barks by little river with the bridge.
Running my last lap I could feel the mud again but I didn’t care because I was nearly finish. The mud was soo heavy I could feel it take off my shoes. Suddenly my shoes slipped off so I quickly took off my sock’s and finished the challenging run. Passing by the finish line I could see some of my competitors at the tap washing off.
Washing off all the sloppy mud I had a smile as I thought to myself “I am sooo joyful that I participated my last Primary and Intermediate Cross country”.
