It was a cold morning.The sun was rising and I could not wait for this day to start.I ran to school with joy.There was going to be long jump,high jump,sprints,hurdles,long distance,throw,discus and shot put.I was going to dodge all the obstacles along the way and do all of the events.
All the Year 5 and 6,Girls and boys were lined up to start athletics.My hands were sweaty and my brain was thinking about everything.I could not wait to give everything a go and to try my best.It was our turn to start and I was was jumping with joy.Most of the girls in my class hated athletics day but I was the opposite.
We started the athletics day and our first event was sprints.We had a run of the track.So we could get the feeling of running on the track before we start.We ran in a casual speed so we could use energy in the real race.Sprints is my favourite event and it is the most enjoyable for me.Mrs Langley said “we are going to start the races now,you are going to get a score from 1-4”.I was expecting not to get a four but a 3 would be my highest.The race just before me just finished.I was up next.
It was my turn and I was stretching and getting ready.Mrs Langley said “On your mark,get set, go”!!!! I was as fast as lightning,even though I was coming second.I raced to the finish line.I came second and the teachers there gave me a card saying three which meant I got a three. I reached my goal and could not be anymore prouder than myself.
The whole athletics was full of good and bad scores,injuries and joy, and excitement.I could not wait for the athletics next year.Bring on the blood,sweat and tears!!!!
