IALT: Reflect on Cross Country

Yesterday on thrusday the 16th of August, students were selected to repersent the school at the cross country tournament. I was chosen to repersent our school along with 25 students. 

I was really nervous and as we began to walk around the course at Bailey Road school I was already tired. 

But what was shocking was that the year 7's and 8's had to run the course 3 times meaning we had to run 3 laps!! As I saw others run the course I saw that as they run past they looked really tired and what made it worse was that most of the surface was really muddy. It was then the year 7 girls turn to compete. I was already tired as I got past the hill. All I wanted at that time was to drink water. 

Luckly I finished the race, what was dissaponting was that Me and Coralee saw 2 year 7 girls from Glenbrae school took the short cut, and I was told that if you cheat then you are disqualified. I just finished the course and came about 7th or 6th place. I really tried my best and I think I did the best I could. 

I learnt that I need to be fit and that next time I will need more practise.

I think that Tamaki primary did our best and we are glad that we competed.

Please if you have any question just ask down below in the comments.

Thank you
