CROSS-COUNTRY

‘‘Bang”the race starts. I sprint round the goal,but someone tumbles down. I help them up, then run into the dark wetlands. It’s mucky with dryish mud, it sticks to my shoe. There was a lady with a camera when you run out of the wetlands, she took a photo of me and some other people. Behind the swaying trees I couldn’t breath properly so I had to walk for a little bit, after my 2 lap I tripped over a root just getting out of the trees.I felt the sting of the rocks smashed on my hands,my knees were splashed with dirt, I got up and ran. ‘‘The finish line.’’ I whispered, I  crossed the finish line.I came 28th.My time was ‘something:something something’ I don't know what my time was but 28th is a big achievement.I came 36th in last years cross country.
