Cross Country

I was so excited, I couldn't wait till it was the year 6's turn. It was finally our turn. We lined up. I went through my plan again, sprint as soon as they say go and when nobody is behind me I would stop and have a rest, and then when someone is behind me I start running again. When the horn went off I followed my  plan. My goal was to beat Vika one of the fastest girls in my year. I was a bit behind, I thought I would lose this race. But then I thought never give up and I was running with the girls in the front. I tried to go in front of the girls which were Dinah and Vika. I beat them and I was coming third. My mouth felt dry and my heart was beating faster and faster every second. I sprinted again and then it was between me, Fifita who was coming 2nd and Ambalika who was coming 1st. 
I was doing really well, I was following my plan. I was nearly at the finishing line. My mouth was really dry. I really wished I drank water. Vika was catching up I sped up she went in front of me I sprinted even faster and I was once again in front of her. I was so happy. I ran till I was about to finish. I was coming third I was going to complete my goal, but then Vika went in front of me. I was so tied I had to give up, I was dizzy I needed a drink. I had to give up. I didn't complete my goal I came 4th. But I was very happy that I was close to winning. So I am still proud of my self.
