My Triathlon

‘All Individuals please walk with Mrs Taylor to the pool,’  boomed Mr Martin and I got up and walked. I saw some familiar faces as I walked by, Then in a matter of minutes we were at the pool. 

l took my t-shirt off and hopped in the pool then we heard “on your marks get set… GO!”

We all flew off the wall and started swimming. I had to swim 150 metres (162 yards) but it felt like a never-ending swim. A while after my never-ending swim I got told I was done. My heart lifted as I ran out of the pool and hopped on my bike and started biking.

The first few laps were fine then I got super tired on the end laps My legs felt Ice cream about to melt because I kept it in a low gear which made it harder. Luckily I got through, Then there was running which was the worst there was a headwind which kept pushing me back It was so monotonous also my left leg felt so bad the worst it’s ever been. I got there in the end though, I came 10th which was good enough for me.

I was super proud that I did it by myself instead of doing it in a team! My Parents were also proud of me because a week earlier I hurt my wrist badly but I still persisted and participated!
