As the year 8 girls lined up on the start line, I felt a rush of nerves flow through my body. My heart was pumping as I anxiously awaited to hear that torturous gun. When Mr Scott finally shot the gun, there was a huge scramble to get to the start of the course. Everyone was pushing and shoving. When everyone found their feet, we were off. Grace zoomed to the front, leading the pack. Some people made the mistake of starting fast and dropping back due to exhaustion. Coming through into the finish line was such a relief. I was knackered. For me, cross country is quite a challenge.Although I did beat my last years placing, I felt if I had put 100% effort into it, I could have possibly done better. With all my training lading up to the day from Mr Short, I was extremely disappointed.
While the year 8 boys raced, we rested up on the grass bank at Bleidslode Park. After the results and certificates were handed out, we walked back to school.
Most students had full participation and tried their best. The best of luck to the Zone Cross Country Team.
