Weet-Bix Tryathlon

On Wednesday 15th of February 2012 I did the Weet-Bix Tryathlon. In the morning I woke and was really happy in fact I was so happy I was on the roof (not literally). I quickly got dressed and had breakfast  (It was Weet-Bix) after Zach (my brother) left, Zara (my sister) was at Nana's house so by now I was ready to go to the tryathlon. “Right I am here,” I said we got my bike out and put it in the transition area, now I am ready. “Mum I see Paige,” I said. We go into the stands where all the stuff is me and Paige got to play a game to win a free toy.

We had a quick warm up then we had to go to the pool. We had to sit in our colours, mine was orange.

When it was our turn to go we got out of our seats and stood by the side of the pool. We got some instructions by the race starter then it was time to get in and get ready. “OK, ready steady go!” and we were off.

It was really was hard to breathe with all the kicking and splashing beside me, then I got out of the pool and ran all the way to my bike. I had to get my top and helmet on then my shoes, I forgot to put my pants on hehehe, but I still had my togs on from the swim and it was alright. I saw Ashlee and Lily so we biked together. Lily fell off her bike near the end of the biking leg.

Then came the hard part, THE RUN!!! I did not think I could make it, but seeing Lily just about give up made me want to help her finish and then I knew to help her I had to finish the race too, so me and Lily helped each other to finish. Coming to the end I needed a drink but all I could see was Corbyn and his chips which were salt and vinegar, my least favourite chips.

When I finish we got our  medals and a drink of water (what I need the whole time), we went and got our photos taken me and Lily got separate ones then one together.

This would have to be one of my best days ever (best triathlon ever).

Summer


Summer is here, yay! Baby animals are born, gardens get lots of compost ants and flys eat Zara's (my little sister) pizza. Did you now there is enough ants to cover everyone everywhere? (I hope it does not happen).


Remember summer when I got stuck in a tree and you helped me down. Did you hear the birds chirp? I did. Did you feel the itchy mowed grass and it was getting ready to make hay?



Remember the cool wind and the ash fell from the sky. Everyone swam all day on the sunny days. Remember when you went to Waimarama and building sand castles and all the sand in your toes.
