Athletics Day

Yesterday on wednesday it was Athletics day the sun was as hot as a desert. I was one of the people that had to run in the egg race, including some of my friends they were exhausted when they ran.

 When our name got called out we had to follow Mrs.Donaldson to line up for the race, though the race was two hundred metres long. When we started running I wanted to jog until we get to the end, and then sprint at the end. When I ran Nia-Jay was leading in front of me, because I went the wrong way which was around not straight. But then suddenly I caught up to her in the end of the race and became 1st and started fainting a little at the end and it was tiring. After running in the egg race my name got called out again for the one hundred metre race which I did not want to run in. When the starter said ready,set,go my heart was beating seeing Papiloti coming 1st I decided winning doesn't mean anything but having fun means something, though my stomach was hurting a little and I started to slow down because I didn't really care about coming 1st anymore, though I came 2nd and my friends came 3rd and 4th. After doing the one hundred metre race my name got called again with my other friends again, nevertheless I just had to give it a try and also have fun. Room 10 and Room 11 had 4 people in each team but there were 2 teams of Room 10 and Room 11 and I was one of them that had to run it was a relay. Peliasi was our starter and I was the second person that had to run and give it to the third person to pass it to the 4th person which is the person that ends the relay, suddenly Peliasi,Riko,Loti and I won. Then it was three sticks we all took turns and some of us got eliminated and we had to watch them or even watch with our parents though I forgot to tell my Mum to come and watch me. Riko was the last one to do three sticks it was super hard and the sticks were wide opened but suddenly he got eliminated. Next some of the parents had to race Tua’s auntie Josey ran and fell down and most of us were watching including my friends. Now it was tug-o-war we had to vs room 10 and we tried our best but did not even won but it was worth a try and it was superb though it hurt some of our hands. After vs room 10 in tug-o-war other rooms vs too like room 6 and room 7.

 Finally it was the parents turn and teacher too to do tug-o-war and some parents did not wanted to join though Mr.Hendricks team won and it was finally time to go home when the tug-o-war finish.
