Cross Country
Yesterday, we had cross country. I was so puffed when I was finished that I fell down onto the grass and reached for my drink bottle. I ran 3.1 kilometres. 3 laps of our big field, 2 laps of the domain and another 2 laps of our big field. Plus running to the domain and back. It doesn't sound that hard but it is, when we practised, I found it even really hard to do 3 laps of the field... Let alone another 2 laps and 2 laps of the HUGE DOMAIN! I was proud of my place (1st). My friend Grace came 2nd with me and Bree came 3rd. Here is a picture to let you know that I was dying.

What a wonderful description. I am glad to discover that you were not really dying or else you would not have been able to write this wonderful post. It looks to me that you were just a little tired which means you must have run with vigour and alacrity.
ReplyDeleteWell done with your placing and with the effort you put into the race. I see you have a career ahead as an ultra distance runner. Are you preparing for your first marathon?
Thanks,
DeleteI don't think I would like to run a marathon, but I might do one day. Thank you for commenting on my blog, it's nice to see all the comments!
Thanks Again,
Ariana, Yaldhurst Model School.
It looks like you gave it your all! Well done Ariana :-)
ReplyDeleteMan! You really did pull out all the stops Ariana, we're so proud of your dedication and hard work! Try your best, nothing less! Ka Pai lil HERO! Mrs T
ReplyDeleteAriana you made me have a wee giggle! I know the feeling of 'dying' all too well at the end of a run! You did so well to train hard, push through and come first! :)
ReplyDeleteAriana, you ran so hard! Well done you, it was so cool to see you finish your race at the end, you could see your determination as you crossed the line! Awesome stuff.
ReplyDeleteHi Ariana, I'm Nika from St Bernadette's School. I like the way you told us how much laps you did at each place you ran around. Maybe next time you could put who came second and third. Good Job on coming first place! Is this your first time coming First place?
ReplyDeleteHi Ariana,
ReplyDeleteI am from St. Bernadette's School. I enjoyed reading your story about cross country because I am doing cross country too in a few weeks. Also it was interesting reading all the describing words you put in e.g.puffed. Did anyone come to watch you ?
Hello Ariana, I am Tali from St Bernadette's School. I enjoyed reading your story about cross country I really liked how you had used describing words when you had finished. I think you should put who had come 2nd and 3rd. It really looks like you ran your best, well done.
ReplyDeleteHi my name is Felix I read your story on running the cross country. It was a very long cross country. Next time could you put who came second and third with you. Well done, keep running.
ReplyDeleteHello Ariana, my name is Anisia and I am a year 6 at St.Bernadettes School. I really liked how you put lots of description into your writing. It sounds like you did a lot of running but you kept on going even when you fell over. Maybe can you check your capitals and punctuations. Great job. I look foreword to seeing your future post's.
