Cross Country

Nervously waiting on the cold hard concrete, I challenged myself to beat my mates at today's cross country. I thought it was going to rain but, as the race started it was only cold and really muddy. I was so tired and dizzy I thought that I was going to have to stop. After I had sprinted for the finish line I felt so proud of my self as I had come fourth.
