Annual Cross Country

On 26 march, my school have arrange an annual cross country where we can keep ourself fit. This year, we had our run at MacRitchie Reservoir. I represented my class to complete among the lower sec girls and I came in 4th. This year cross country was difficult to run as we run inside the MacRitchie where there are many trees and the floor are muddy. This was unlike previous year where we run on pavement.

As the ground was slippery, I almost slip and fell. There was a sec one Indian girl running in front of me at first. I tried very hard to catch hard with her but it was very tough. Finally, we were suppose to run up a slippery and steep slope where she started walking. I took this chance and ran as fast as I could and over take her.

After that, we came out and run on the pavement next to the road. A sec2 girl over took me and this time, I was thinking to myself if I want to get 4th or 5th. With this thought, I made up my mind and run as fast as my leg could carry me and run towards her after seeing her walking to take a rest. I run downwards towards the finishing line where many people were shouting and cheering.

Over there, I saw many lines and I was not sure which one was for Lower Sec girls as I was not wearing my specs. Many people in front was pointing left and right and when I was closer, I saw the one I was suppose to get my card from and was glad that the girl did not manage to catch up with me. I was very tired and my leg was very pain after the race.
