The big hill was ahead off us, all this training was paying off right now, right here. People from other schools were slowly walking up the hill like if they were a turtle. I overtook 2 more people and I was right behind a Browns Bay person. As we were running around the little field, my legs started to ache, I just kept going and I was up to my 2nd lap. A Murray's Bay person was just right behind me and I splashed some water onto her. ( Whoops! ) I was getting closer to the Browns Bay person, but I just couldn't keep up to her. After our final lap, ( this is the worst part.... ) an adult pointed us to the WRONG DIRECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we had to do an EXTRA 1/2 a lappppp!!! Mr VB then led us around the finishing shoot and I sprinted my little heart out and I came.................. 20th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After the year 6 boys race, we waited patiently until Mr VB came and awarded the trophy. Browns Bay School came 1st :( ( Bet us by 32 points, I'm pretty sure.) Pinehill School came 2nd :( Murrays Bay came 3rd, and Pinehurst came 4th.
Overall, Mr VB, Mrs Davies and Mrs Everett was very proud of us for coming 2nd.
Without Mr VB, Mrs Davies, Mrs Everett, Mr Westen, all the adults / parents who helped and all the students that ran their little hearts out............. this day would have not been a SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
So THANK YOU!!!!!!! :)
