On Wednesday the 26th of August I went to represent Hauraki at the Thames Valley Cross Country.We were lucky with the weather it was sunny but it was still pretty cold.It was a far journey to Whitianga it took about an hour and a half just to get there with Jack, Tyne, Jamie and I in the car it got pretty noisy.After the far journey it I hopped out of the car grabbed my gear and put it where everyone else had their stuff.
We waited a while to walk the course but at ten fifteen it was time to see what was upon me.The track was good nothing that could hurt my feet which was good and there was only a small hill that was easy to do.But the 12 plus had a to do two laps of the course! and that made it huge but I walked back really nervous for my race.
The 8 year old's were first then nine and then ten my nerves started to crank up but then finally after hours 12 plus were up.On your marks... get set... bang! the race had started at intense speed I was coming 6th behind Lewis but I cranked up a notch on the hill and got the lead I was glad but the race wasn't over yet.I had only one lap left and I was still in the lead but not by much Connor was right behind me and he wanted to win to but I needed to run faster if I was going to win.The last stretch I had no gas left so Lewis, Max and Connor past me at the end but I had finished with a placing of fourth. I was so over whelmed because I did much better than last year and I had gotten in the top five so I went home sore and glad with the result.
