Cross Country

My heart was pounding as I sprinted as fast as I could. Gasping for breath it felt like my lungs were screaming.It was the school cross country.This year it was harder because it was way longer and we had to run a bush walk.I could feel the bushes scratch me as I ran past them.

Half way through the race, I knew someone was near by. My friend was close enough for me to catch up...So I sprinted and finally past him.

Passing the bridge the path was getting more and more narrow.There were lots of trees and bushes.A polluted creek was close to the path as well.

I was getting closer to the end of the first path which ended at Tamaki collage. The second path started there as well, leading back to school.

Getting closer and closer to the finish, I was also getting more exhausted and drained than ever before. Excitedly and joyfully passing the finish line I fell to the ground.
