Julia's cross country

My Cross Country

On Wednesday 21 May Year 4 to 1 did cross country.  I saw my sister running across the finish line. I clapped and cheered and also my Mum did.  Mum said it was my turn now.  I felt a bit nervous.  Before we ran we did warm ups with Mrs Q.  We did the running 3 2 1 “Clap!”  I ran.  I couldn’t catch up.  One person was right behind me.  I ran like a light bulb.  I ran between Myliah.  We were next to each other.  I ran in front of her.  I had Charlotte to go.  I was puffed.  I ran fast and went in front of her too.  I was in the lead.  I was proud of myself.  I ran all the way to the gates.  I looked behind myself.  I saw no one. I was pleased with myself. I said in my head, I am going to win, when I was getting my yellow block.  It was second time around.  I ran all the way to the gate again.  I got my second green block.  I was at the finishing line.  I was thinking I am going to be first.  I came first place!  Charlotte was second and Izabella came third place.  I did well. I was in the lead most of the way.
