Running at Waikare

At Paihia school the winners of cross country went to the next race in Waikare. The winners all left in the morning and we all did our best. The ages were kind of mixed around, I can’t remember how it went but it was something like 6 year olds then 12 year olds to 5 year olds, it was very confusing. At Waikare after a while it was hammering down with rain and tents were about to fly away but by the time It was my race the sun was out and it was nice blue sky. It was so cold and I was wrapped up in all my jumpers but as the sun came out it was fine. I don’t know what place I came in my race but I was near the middle of the back. I saw lots of my friends at Waikare and I even raced against  them, it was so much fun. I really enjoyed running with all my friends and was glad it was sunny for my race. There was a part in the race and it’s a huge hill and some people go down to fast and face plant into the ground or fall over. I walked slowly down the hill and I think that was the best technique. It was to rainy so We couldn't get any good photos.
