Cross country

 The day had come Wednesday the 18th, cross country day. I could tell in everybody's eyes they were not happy this day had come. We got there at 12:00, we had to wait a while before the year 7s (my group) got to race. The waiting felt like torcher because every time a race finished  I knew it was getting closer to my race. Finally we got called to line up and get ready we sat waiting patiently knowing the race was close in the cold wind but a blue sky with barely any clouds. About 20 mins after we got called up to get ready, it's finally our turn I didn't know what feeling I was going through at the time excitement or nervousness I couldn't choose, everyone else said they felt like they were going to be sick. The teacher come over with the clappers. I felt sick, at that time I knew how I felt. On you marks, get set, GO!! We all raced off. Up the hill round the rugby field, going round the rugby field made me start to puff. Then we all ran down the hill and around half the rugby field at the bottom and then entered the forest. I couldn't pass Annabelle because it was single file path. Annabelle was in front of me the whole time but when we got out of the forest and went around the little rugby field at the back I passed her, straight after I passed Annabelle I could hear mum cheer me on. After we went around the little field we went round the bottom field again and finished round about were we started. I was really puffed but I keep going. When I finished I could hardly breath. In the end I got 2nd.

  1. Well done Hannah, you ran so well and should be very proud.
    This was a detailed piece of writing that showed the audience the race from your perspective. Next time I would like to see you using paragraphs. In this situation the different parts of the event would help you to break it up. eg. Intro, waiting, the race
