Sports day
What I have learnt from sports day is that it is not all about winning, it is about having fun and winning is a bonus. The first thing on sports day was skipping but for me and Daniel Blake was sorting out who was going up at what races.
When the race had started, I was cheering so loud I nearly lost my voice. For a moment, there was an air of anticipation.
The first race I was in was the 200metre sprint. I went to the starting line and I could feel butterflies fluttering in my stomach. Suddenly, when I got at least half way,I could hardly hear anybody cheering, I could only hear my self panting heavily. When I was approximately 10 metres away from the finish line, Caitlin came closer. Consequently, I started to pick up speed and and ran 0.25 metres on front of everyone in the race. When I reached the finish line, my team cheered with jubilant. I gasped for air. During the race, I felt as though I was being chased.
As soon as I went for a drink and to sit down, My friend said "You have to go and do the three legged race with Daniel. Daniel's and my feet were tied together. Laughing, Daniel and I were very tenacious when our Velcro strap came off. We made it to the finish line, I took the strap off and realised I had a graze on my leg because of the Velcro. Surprised, I leapt up and took the laminated card that said "third" up to the table and ran to sit down.
Many more races took place. It was time for results. I bowed my head praying for victory.
" the winners are ... Emerald." All other teams were disappointed. I was disappointed but proud of my team for doing so well and they should be proud of themselves as well.
