10, 9, 8, …., 3, 2, 1, GO! I start running up the hill. There are girls in front of me and each time I put a goal on one of them they start getting farther and farther away. I turn on to a trail. I’m trying to pass a boy in front of me before the trail gets smaller. The trail is getting smaller and smaller. I cannot pass him yet. I sprint right pass him. It’s starting getting muddier and muddier. There is a little bridge to get over a mud puddle that is made out of logs and then up the hill. I turn on to a sandy trail. There is a big puddle and the fastest way around it is to jump on the edge of the puddle or you can take to time to go around it. I choose to jump! I keep running. Then I got to a really, really sandy place. It is hard to get through. I go down a hill and then up a hill. I see Mommy and Daddy cheering me on. I’m almost to the finish of the 1st run. I come around the corner and see the transition. I run into transition. I put on my coat and take a sip from my bottle and head out of transition.
Bike
I start biking up the hill. I’m trying to pass people. A boy passes me so I try passing him back. Trying to pass him is helping me pass other kids. I keep chasing him. I see a little boy in front of me so I start trying to pass him. I go up and down finally we get to a steep small hill. I pass him on the hill but he passes me back. I go really fast and then pass him. The other boy is still in front of me. I keep trying to pass him but he’s going really fast. we pass a girl and I think her brother that look my age. Then I sprint hard and pass the boy. I zoom down the hill into transition.
The 2nd Run
I run out of transition and up the hill again. I go up the hill and turn on to a trail. The trail is getting smaller and smaller. The girl and the boy I saw earlier are right behind me. It’s getting muddier and muddier. They pass me. I try to catch up to them but they’re fast. There is the little bridge to get over a mud puddle that is made out of logs and then I go up the hill. I turn on to the sandy trail. There is the big muddy puddle and I jump again. I keep running. I get to the really, really sandy spot which I do not like. I go down the hill and then up the hill. I see Mommy and Daddy again cheering me on. I’m almost to the finish. I go around the corner and there is the finish line. I sprint to the finish line. I got 2nd place.
