Cross-country! J L K

On your marks, get set, GO! Finally, the race has started and we are running our best. I run into the Stevenson’s farm and follow the cones like a lamb following her mother. Finally, I reach the train-tracks and I slow down a little, I recover and keep on going. There I see Mrs. Evitt and I was starting to feel really saw and tired. I reach the Domain and see Mr. Dombroski, I was getting thirsty, I started to run a little bit faster, I came out of the Domain and I was back on the train-tracks. I reached the school field, that’s when I started to feel nervous, my shoes were muddy and I was trying really hard. I heard my mum say, “Keep going Bella!”, I looked at her and waved, then I carried on. Suddenly, I sprinted as fast as I could to get past two students. There it was waiting for me, the royal finish line, I felt happy when I went through the finish line. I think I came 3rd or 4th place. I was proud of myself. I felt like I was going to die, I had a moment, then I went and got a drink and went home.
