Cross country

I started breathing heavily as I strutted to the start line. Mr Burt screamed " on your marks!" Slap went the loud wooden clapper. Everyone bolted there way through the crowd, but I jogged so I didn't lose my energy. The girls boosted to the black gate and started to slow down. When everybody got out to the reserve there was a patch of long muddy grass. All the girls trudging through the awful mud. I thought to myself that that was my chance to win the race so I sucked up my guts and boosted through the mud. The rest of the way I jogged and I was so proud of myself. I came 6th place. I was so relieved that the race was over.
