Paihia School Cross Country

 Kia ora bloggers. Paihia School have just had Cross Country at Bledisloe Domain. I was excited for the Cross Country because I enjoy Cross Country. We didn’t start Cross Country straight away, it kicked off at about 11:30 so we were able to fit in some learning.  We all ran in our age groups and gender e.g 5 year old boys ran together then 5 year old girls etc. When it got to the 11 year olds they ran with the 12 and 13 year olds. Right before my race I was quite nervous. By the time I had finished running around the field my legs were already tired. After I had finished running the field there was a gate which slowed me down because I had to climb over it. I found the hill the hardest but easiest part (if that makes sense). What made the hill the hardest part was, there was a giant patch of mud mixed with Horse faeces mixed with water so when you ran through it, you got a bit stuck. What made the hill the easiest part though was my legs just got used to it. The race was very tiring for me because I had a cold. The entire track was approximately 1.5 km long. Overall I was very tired but I wanted to run the track again because I enjoyed it that much.

Here is a photo of me running up one of the hills. (I think).
