On Tuesday the 3rd of November, Puriri and Kauri team went on a very tiring trip to Lovelock Track!
There was a lot of athletic activities, my most favourites were Long Jump and Discus but one of my most least is High Jump..
The girls went racing on the track first and the boys tried all the events, I only did the 100 and 200 metres because I would be too exhausted to do the 400 metres (the whole track) and the 800 metres (run around the whole track 2 times).
After, the boys went to the track and the girls had a turn at the activities,
We first did Discus and the discus was much lighter than I thought. Next was Long Jump, me and my friends were watching the boys race and see who came 1st place while we were waiting for our turn. Then it was shot put, the ball was so heavy! It was pretty hard trying to push a very heavy ball.. Now,it was High Jump. I was so scared to do this cause I'm really short and the beam was much higher than I thought. I tried it but I hit my knee so I just watched instead!
Lastly, all the classes sat on the grass and called the people that are racing for the relay team. AND I was one of them.. Sadly one of our members in our relay team had a sore knee so that's why we came 4th place! FINALLY, we all packed our bags and walked back to school!
