Recount Cross Country

Cross Country recount by Harriett Neame

In the morning when I woke up I felt nervous. I jumped out of bed to get dressed into my uniform.

When I got to school I felt even more nervous than when I got dressed.

At lunch it was really scary because the race was so close. When we were warming up it was so nerve wracking. We got to the starting line, it was so close to start.

The banger went bang, we all started running. When I got to the hay bales I was way  behind. When I jumped over the hurdles I leaped over them like gazelle.

At the tyres I thought I was going to fall over. Near the bridge a teacher was cheering me on I felt so good..

Where the adults were standing I saw my Mum and Mrs Harnett, I felt even better because the finish line was just up ahead. I was surprised that I came 9th.

I found my Mum and ran over to her, I told her that i came 9th. After that I ran as fast as I could. ( Which was not very fast) to get my drink bottle, I was so thirsty that I almost drank it all. My legs were so tired I could hardly walk.

I felt so good when i crossed the finish line because I completed the cross  country running all the way.
