Cross Country

Hi blog viewers! Today I will be talking about my experience at Cross-Country Centrals; in a word, muddy! With rain from past weeks wetting the track, the grass trail quickly became a bog in dense areas and turns, with hundreds of footprints indistinguishable from another. After a short journey in the school van, our small party set foot onto Halswell Quarry for most of the day. With a 100 minute wait until my due race, I was reasonably unoccupied for most of our time there. The gun setting off a stampede, most of the first hundred metres were deadlocked, with less than a foot next to someone. Unluckily, as my shoe was reasonably loose, as soon as I encountered the first bend, the sneaker was lost in the panic of the race. This meant I had to run the entire race with one shoe! I am not yet sure what place I came, as the results have not been uploaded. This is my last blog for the term, so I'll see you all in a few weeks!

Here is a self-drawn artwork of my reflection. Have you ever participated in the next level of cross-country? Was your experience similar? Tell me below!
