Totara Tryathlon 2010

On Tuesday, the 23rd of February the Totara Tryathlon was in session! I was as nervous as a bunny having a gun pointed at it! At morning tea I got into my gear and played around for a bit and then... it came. The bell, signifying it was time for the tryathlon! first the year 5 girls were up. BANG! Then the year 5 boys. BANG! Then the year 6 girls. I was getting more nervous by the second. BANG! Then the year 6 boys. I lined up with my helmet on, knowing my trusty stead (also known as my bike) was in the transition when I came to him. BANG! We were off I jogged at a fast pace, around the back field, up the steps and then... RELIEF! I was wading the pool around the buoy, out of the pool and then... BOOM! I'm at the transition! I jumped on my bike and rode around the course at a fast pace. On the last corner I was almost overtaken by Joe.P but he turned way too tight and... WHAM! He skidded off his bike and I crossed the line. I got 7th. I am really proud.
