Athletics Day

Today the 12th of November we had Riverdale school athletics.  This year is my last year doing athletics at this school and my last year at this school, so I had to make the most of it.  I was in the 10 & 11 year old group,  so we started with sprints.  My first race started,   I was currently running in second place.  Then my second race I ended up at second place again. Then it was finals. In first place was Tulin, then it was a three way tie for second place, Maddi, Zoe and Jenny all of them were in Keraru. So I finished third I happy with a 3. Then we had long jump. We had a practice jump and then it was the real thing. For the practice one I got a 2 and for the real one I got a 1 no one got a 3. Then it was Morning Tea.  Then we  went straight over to shot put. I surprisingly got a 3 for shot put. Then we went to discus. I got a three.  Meanwhile parents started gathering and taking photos of there child and  friends.  After discus we had hurdles.  My first race I came second and for my second race I came second. Then it was semi finals I ended up third but to out cause it was top 2, so I got a 2.  Our last rotain was high jump. I have a big fear of high jump I made the first one but stoped at the second one. My mind just went blank!  So I got a 1.  So then we had lunch under our team tents.  Then it was long distance. I was the rabbit for the 5 & 6 year old girls. And I also entered the long distance 1000m race. I came 4th for the girls in the race. Then I also had to be the rabbit for the 5  & 6 & 7 year olds rabbit for Tui. After all that running I was puffed out.  Then in no time it was my turn for the relays.  I was in a team with Tom, Luke and Lily. Tom ran first, Lily ran second, I ran third and Luke ran last. It was a tight battle between Tui and Takaha. At the end Takaha just ( only just ) won.

So I thought I great today. Hopefully Tui did enough to win 2 years undefeated.

Weather: Sunny ( just a little bit of rain)
