Go Cross Country!
On Friday the 24th of May, Hutt Central School walked to Sladden Park and had a cross country run.
Before school I had an energy breakfast. My energy breakfast was spaghetti on toast. Mmm, yummy!
We took our morning tea, a warm jersey, a big drink bottle filled with water, and we also took our sketch book, pencil case and our refill pad in case we wanted to keep busy while we waited for our race.
First it was the new entrant class. Then the juniors (year 1 and 2) and then it was the middles - me!
I ran in the year 4 girls race. I think I started off a bit too fast, because when I got about half way I was getting very very puffed. But I kept running. I could see my friend Eva in front of me. When I was on the second to last straight I saw my Grandad and he said,
"Go! Keep running Belles!"
I did keep running and then I saw Mum. She took some photos. She said;
"Good running Belles, you're aweome, keep going, keep going!"
Bailey just passed me at the finish line because I went the wrong way. But it doesn't matter because I came 7th which means i might get to go to southern zone!
At the end I was very puffed. But I was proud of myself because I came 7th, and also because I ran the whole way, which was a very long track, without stopping or walking.
The 2013 Cross Country for Hutt Central School was pretty awesome.
