The Race

On the 20th of August 2019 wainui beach school had Cross Country. It started with year 6 girls then boys, year 5 girls then boys, year 0 girls then boys etcetera. But the 4s where the last race. I'm a year 5.

As we made it to the start line Matua Nick was on the side. He told us that we are doing 2 big laps. I was not ready. "On your marks get set BANG!" With a loud bang we where off.  Naia was in front of me. she said she was amming to come 2nd. As we where coming around a corner her shoe came off! Yes this is my chance. I was Jogging up the road but Kayla was right next to me. "Hi Kayla" I said "hi" she replied. We ran up the sand and dad was there to cheer me on "Go Tillie, remember a sprint at the end" he said " I know" I replied. 

We were together for most of the 1st lap then I over took her. For most of the 2nd lap I was way in front of them and 4 boys over took me. As I made it to the finish line I was to puffed to sprint. Everyone was cheering and koka Sophie said to me " Well done Tillie more shine cards for mango" ( blue house ) dad came over and said "Well done hun. Your gonna get a chocolate sundae  tonight.)
I was so happy to come 1st.
