"What are you going to come?" I asked Waata and Kingston. Waiting for the race I was nervously sitting in my age group on the hard court shaking my legs thinking in my head “Who’s going to come first, second or third in the ten year olds?”. My group is MATAATUA and they are the best!!!! “What are you going to come?” I asked my friends Waata and Kingston again.
Suddenly Mr Burt shouted to us, “The 11 year old’s are going first.” They started making their way to the start line on the field. After a while the it was the 5 year old’s then the 10 year olds clumped and squished up together.
“Clap” the two woods clashed and started the race off. Everyone charged and shoved to the front but the good thing to do was you needed to keep your legs pumped and pace your self so you could come in the top three.
Off we went down and through the entry to the Pt England reserve. Around the corner we went into the watery mud puddle. I said to my two friends Potaua and Samuela beside me “I’m getting tired” but I still had determination and perseverance inside of me. As us three boys kept going I suddenly slowed down and Potaua and Samuela went ahead.
After all that running I managed to get a spot into the top three. I was so excited and stink at the same time because after all that, I’m competing in the zone cross country next week.

Hey Starford, Great that you made it into the inter-zones. Was it hard? I reckon it would of been. I hope I make it next year. Because every year I get fitter and fitter. I hope you come first next year. GO MAATATUA (For you that is.)
