On Wednesday 22nd September we went to the Taranaki Cross Country Champs. Janika, Xavier and Fergus went with Mr Hey and Ashley,Joshua and Liam went with Mr and Mrs Waite so a big thank you to you. When we got there it was really cold and it was raining. We walked around the track once to see where we were going to run when the race was going on. On part of the track there was mud mixed with cow poo and it was 10cm high with stones mixed in. At the start of the race some pressure was on and the man said on your marks bang the man shot his gun to start the race and we were gone. Soon we came up to a wooden fence that we had to climb over and then we got on with the race. We came up to the muddy bit and we went to the side where the mud was not as bad. After a while we were at the oval and that meant we where nearly at the at the finish line and we where sprinting so we can pass people to get to the finish quicker and we were finally there and Ashley came 12th and Janika came 34th. It was really really fun and we both enjoyed the whole day even watching the Pembroke boys in there races.
