MY RACE STORY
BY ARIEL
1st RUN
I have been sick. I’m line up for the 5th and last duathlon. The race director says 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Go! I immediately start hurting but I keep running. I try to keep up with the 2 girls I saw in the 1st race but they are too fast. We all enter the trails. I can’t see the 2 girls anymore. I run down and up hills. I turn and twist. Then I see a road and cross it. I go through bushes and now I’m on the home stretch. I finish the first run and run into transition.
BIKE
I run Anna’s bike to the line and get on it. I bike out of transition and up the hill. I turn and go down a hill on to a long flat road. I bike fast so I can pass and get back in the front. I see a 2 girls and I want to pass them. I am getting closer and closer to them. I turn and then I do a big turn again. Then I do the big U-Turn. I pass the 2 girls. I go on the big turn again and then turn on to the long road again. I go down the hill into transition and get off Anna’s bike.
2nd RUN
I’m hurting and I’m tired. I run the path to the trails. I enter the trails. I still can’t see the 2 girls. I run down and up hills. I turn and twist. Then I see a road and cross it. I go through bushes and see some little boys finishing to. I start sprinting and I’m on the home stretch the finish line. I finish. I’m 3rd place.
