Cross country

When I was getting ready to stand up everyone was already up and going to the start line. I was anxiously awaiting for the race to start. As I was saying to myself "I can do it" I heard a voice say"On your marks,get set"and BANG!! the clapper sounded. All the racers were powering ahead but Sampson and I were ahead of the other racers. We were jostling for position. I just got ahead of him and I was ahead.

Then I started to lack energy and people were getting past me. Then I started losing my position. By the time I had reached Ms Tito many about six people were in front of me. I started to lack some more energy and people that were behind me were catching up. But I said to myself"Even though the people that are in front of you are well and truly ahead of you do not give up and keep trying" so I did not give up I kept going. I had just gone past the gate and nearly finished the race.

I felt like I was going to pass out while I was running but did'nt I kept running. I said to myself"Run like the wind Matthew because you sre almost there".I listened to myself and got past ther finish line. I was so tired that I did not want to walk anymore.

The Cross country was cool this term. I can't wait for the next cross country.
