The big day


Today was the biggest day of my life because it was the 21st of March and it was the weet bix tryathlon!! Dad ad to wake me up at 6'oclock in the morning because we would have to be there in the middle of 8 and 9'oclock and it takes about 2 hours to get to Palmy from Waiouru. Once we got there we had well enough time to play for a little bit. The tryathlon went in waves so oldest goes first the younger and then youngest, I was in the 8-10 races and I was horrid when a lady told me that my race wouldn't start until 11.30 and the time was about 10.30!! The fist race was swimming then bike then finally the run. The swimming was the hardest because we had to go ten at a time and when I went everyone was trying to go the fastest and whenever I tried took take a breath water would come into my mouth so it was really hard to even get to the other end with water coming in your mouth all the time. by the time we got out everyone was running and going to the bike transition area. because we had to get our tops on get our shoes on and we had to go biking in our togs!! when I was half way I was the third in front and then I sort of slowed down and kids started passing me and now I was the 6th to last. When I finished we had to start running straight away and I got the stitch really quick doing the run so I walked most of the way but when I go to the finish line a man was giving medals to all the kids coming from the run and I got a golden medal for the first time!! Then we got our photos taken in a group and individually. when I came out dad was yelling I'm so proud of you an so am I!!!!!! After that I was looking for Max and holly and I found them at the playground. I was told that there were 1449 kids for the race!!
