Cross Country Racing

On Thursday last week our school had our school cross country race. I'm a year six girl and the year six girls was the first race to go. We lined up at the starting line and Dave slammed the two pieces of wood together and we shot out around the corner like elephants towards the front field and when we had gone round the front field we went round towards the backfield. My Mum was taking a photos and cheering me on as I was running. I got to the backfield and went round the zig-zags racing like a farari at top speed. I went up the steps and down the hill past room 11 and 12 and back at the front field for the 2nd time. We did the same thing and came back down around the front field and through the finishing shoot and we got our places. I came 13th. I didn't mind getting 13th because I wanted to get higher than tenth place because when you get tenth place or under you go into the inter schools which is really hard because you have to run through brown muddy puddles and jump over things like a springbok.I don't like that kind of thing.
