School Tryathalon!!

On Tuesday 23 February,  a school Tryathalon took place on the front field.
First were the year 5 girls, then year 5 boys, then year 6 girls, then finally the year 6 boys.
My class did a type of poem to describe how we felt whilst doing this tryathalon; this is mine:

At the start

When I was waiting for the clappers to smack together at the starting line of the race, suddenly my tummy started to churn in knots; I was nervous and even more so when I heard the bang of the clappers!!

Along Willow Walk

Once I had started to run up Willow Walk my tummy turned calm, because I knew I couldn't go back and realised I wasn't doing so bad!

In the pool

As soon as I hopped into the pool I felt so relaxed, because when I was running I was boiling hot and tired, but the pool was so nice and cool I didn't want to get out.

At the bike transition

Well, this was the last activity in the Totara Tryathalon, so I wanted to speed up for the biking .
I did pretty good; I sped  up on this bit.


At the finish line
YES! I had finished the Tryathalon!
I Was pretty proud of my place; Nope I didn't come 1st, but I tried my best and came 6th, which isn't that bad!
I had fun doing this Tryathalon with my friends and the encouragement  of other kids in my class and all the parents!
