Triathlon 2014

I wake up stranded on my bed, My legs starting to feel vigorous.
I arrive at school my brain is trying to remember every single minor detail of the course!
More people arriving time is creeping closer to my race.
I double cheek that my bike was in the correct place, I have learnt before to double cheek because one year I forgot to put my bike there, That is a good lesson to learn because you certainly learn after doing it ONCE!
I was feeling very nervous because I had lots of good competition.
I wandered over to the start line and prepared to have the race of my life.
Legs pumping with excitement, My arms are already exhausted because they were trying so hard to keep me calm.
( Ready Set GO) I was already running as fast as a Mantis shrimp striking its prey.
I have learnt to try and keep up with others in the run. As we got onto our second lap it had separated to Chloe and I in front!
My Goal was to get on the bike faster then her. We arrived at the transition I clipped my helmet on as fast as a rocket and was off!
I came to my second lap and was starting to get tiered, but I didn't let that stop me I had a convincing lead and I wasn't about to let that go.
Zooming around the corner I was nearly at the gate, I clunked my bike down softly onto the ground and zipped of my shirt and shoes and was off like agent P on a very heart thumping mission!
Floping into the pool I was creating more of a gap between me and Chloe, Quickly I was out of the pool and sprinting to the finish line.
A big sigh of relief came out as I was glad it was over and done with I waited a minute to cheer on Chloe running for her life to come second.
I was very proud of myself for coming first running isn't my favorite thing we;ll none of it is but I tried my hardest and that is what counts.
I was just terrified as I knew the day wasn't over!
Huntah was at the start line, Zahn was on his Bike and I was standing at the gate.
In the blink of an eye Huntah and the rest of his competition was off. Two laps went very fast as he was nearly done, Soon Zahn was on his bike away.
My heart was just about jumping out of my chest as I was dying to no who was gonna come in first on there bike!
(sisperatingly) waiting for Zahn to come in was not calm at all!
Soon Zahn was coming in I Dart over to him slap his hand and I was away like a scurrying mouse with cheese.
Again I was back in the pool the strength of the clorine was detriment.
I scrambled out of the pool and Huntah and Zahn were waiting to run to the finish line together away we went sprinting to the finish line another first we took!
I achieved my Goal very well it was to keep up with everyone in the run and I was coming second in the run!
