Cross Country
On friday the 18th was cross country.
I woke up and got my uniform on and I packed a big lunch and put some water in my bag but later found out it was leaking ... but let’s not skip ahead of time.
Any way we left at 9:00am. We stopped in at the Cheltenham dairy and got an E2 drink and some grainwaves.

2 hours later

It was the start then with the blood curdling sound of the... clappers.
We started off to a good start. I overtook two people as I was coming to the first corner. We came to the fence. I jumped over then asing over I got lost on the gorge. We came to the swamp. I saw a man coming up the hill saying, “Do you have a radio?”
I came to the very end of the swamp then I saw Jacob on the ground so I asked if he was ok. He said, “Yes just carry on.” so I did.
The track wasn't even the most challenging bit ... I will tell you about the challenging bit later.
Up comes the finish line. As I ran past I could hear “do the dive do the dive” so I did the dive. Mud spattered everywhere! I ran to Dylan and we went to the toilet. We came out to do the dive off. We ran to where the dive off was. I ran and dived. There was mud all over my face and my body. I ran off to get washed up ... So I filled up a bucket and tipped it on my head. It was FREEZING I also hosed myself down so I was pretty much clean so I went to the toilets to get changed.
After that I went home and had a shower but there was not much hot water so it was a quick one. After that i had a
snoooooooze.
