Team triathlon

It was the 25.02.09 and was a beautiful day for a triathlon for F.O.S. The Runners, Bikers and Swimmers gathered at the netball courts as Mr. N was giving a long speech about the safety of everyone then he said, “runners follow me”.I said bye to Will as he was our runner. I started getting ready. Helmet sticker. Check. Number on arm. Check. Brakes working. Check.I said bye to Sarah as she went into the pool area. Now I was all alone except for the other competitors.After a while it was Sarah, Will and my heat. When Sarah came out of the pool only one person was ahead of her. I shouted “OVER HERE” and she ran over to me tagged me and I started to go hard. As I came onto the field everyone shouted go Sam that’s when the passing started. I passed Girls and Boys I came to Jeffery’s park onto the road passed the hall and back onto the field. I saw Alex Harford behind me I almost was at the change then my gut dropped Alex had passed me I tagged Will and shouted “Go Will”.In the end we came second.

The Team Triathlon

Today was the day I had been looking forward to. The teams triathlon and I was last to do my part for my team because I was the runner.

I arrived at school excited and ready to go. Silence broke when "splash", the swimmers dived in and Emma was leading the bunch.

She ran to tag Daisy and off Daisy went like a rocket ,spinning the pedals as fast as they would go!

At the end of her lap, Daisy arrived at the field and now it was my turn!

I ran off, my heart thumping and my throat burning. My arms were pumping so hard! Finally I crossed the finish line.

Overall the team triathlon was a fun day that everyone enjoyed, Especially Me!
