Cross country zones

On Wednesday I went the the eastern side cross country zones, I competed against 10 different schools that had from one to five year 8 girls. I had to wait until around 1:45 to start my warm up, which was led by a teacher. It involved lots of different stretches and some high knees and slow jogging. When we went to the start line, we got a little bit of a brief. They would usually use a gun to start the race, but they only used some clappers. The first part of the course was reasonably straight and then gradually came to a hill and a U - shaped turn. Then there was a very slippery and muddy part of the run. The hardest was after that which was hill and then a big corner and another hill right after that. We had to do three laps, which was very tiring. I ended up coming third which I am very proud of.
