TRIATHLON

On the 28th February Hampstead School had the Primary School's triathlon at our big, awesome school.  For Hampstead School the people who were doing it were Mia, Damien, Maddy, Caleb, Otto, Isi, Jamie, Tuku and Ethan. 
I leaped in the pool, swam to the deep end and back doing backstroke.  Then I got out of the pool and started running.  I got my triathlon top on.  I ran out the gate and into school.  I got my helmet on and my sneakers, grabbed my bike, ran it out the gate and started biking my heart out.  I was getting off my bike and running around the field, then I sprinted across the finishing line.  I came about 5th and my time was 15:31:09.

Damien, Mia and Maddy were in the school triathlon from Room 11.  We got given tops to wear for the day.  The singlets were so warm, warmer than the school tops.  We had to swim two big laps of our cold pool.  Then we had to bike around the school block three times, your legs are so sore once you've finished, and then we still had to run around the field 2 times to the finish line.  I had supporters to watch me, my Mum and Dad.

Tuku sprinting really fast

It's triathlon - I was so nervous and scared.  We got our bikes ready with our T-shirts next to them.  We needed to line up and go to the pool.  The lady called my name out and we got in the pool, it was so cold!  The lady yelled, "go!" and we started.  I swam backstroke.  We did two lengths.  When we finished I got out of the pool and grabbed my bike.  I biked 3 laps of the block, got off my bike and started running.  I ran two laps of the field, ran over the finish line and Miss Dobbin called my name, so they could record my time.  At the end Nan was waiting for me.
