Cross country

Butterflies danced around in my stomach, my legs were as wobbly as jelly, i keep reminding myself you can do it. I eyed up Mr Shand not knowing when he would bang the block, i was waiting un patiently ready to get on with it. As soon as Ms Shand banged the block i darted ford trying to aim for the front. I keep on going trying to constraint on the race. My heart was racing around in circles wanting a place in the top 5.

In the distance i heard a chunk of people yelling "Go Ruby" then i started to go faster feeling encouraged and happy. Finally i reached the halfway point feeling that i could get into interschools and get a certificate. 

As soon as i saw the finish line i raced my heart, i sprinted across the line feeling proud and excited that i made the top 5. I was panting so hard i was out of breath. I raced to get my drink bottle and a snack. I collapsed to the the ground feeling worn out and thrilled that i made it through to interschools.
