Cross Country

It was just moments away from our annual occasion and I was prepared and also excited from what position I would probably come in. I also was so excited to run the course
As my age group was getting prepared for the most devastating event, we stretched but also was we were hoping that were wouldn’t be wearing mud as we would run the cross country.
Splash went the mud as I ran past, but with me thinking I was going to sink in quicksand. When I was struggling to run through the squishy, gravy mud, I struggled to balance but not to sink in quicksand.
As I ran through the entire bath of mud, My shoes were encapsulated and sucked in by such a thick layer of a spongy mattress but then suddenly I ran without a shoe. I barely made it past the quicksand but my shoe was overloaded with a lot gooey gravy.
As I was jogging through the bath full of gooey, gravy mud, I was keeping my pace so that I made sure for no one to straight past me.
For us twelve and thirteen year old kids, we had to run an extra length and I thought to myself that I would probably stop but I kept pushing myself.
As I was reaching the finish line by passing the second to last cone, there was a wonderful feeling in me as if I was reborn again.  It was a huge relief for me getting closer and closer to the finish line.
Then the time came for when I crossed the line with burning feet and with my lungs desperately searching for oxygen. I reckon that it was a sense of an a achievement with a medal winning effort placing in second.

I felt so relieved about my position( 2ND place) because I never thought I would have ever made it in the top ten, five or three to go to the eastern zone cross country but I’ve got to say is go MATATUA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
