The Race

Yesterday was a big day for me. You see, we had a big cross country race, and it took 4 hours to get to the event. The day started out as we left at around 11:00 am on Saturday and headed out... On the way we stopped to have lunch at McDonald's, and then we headed back on the road. When we finally got there we walked the course, stretched and then the girls middle school race began. Finally, the boys middle school race began and I headed to the starting line... There was a lot of teams, and their was more that many lanes. Finally the gun was off! We were running and running and finally I made it to the finish line! The finish area took place in a big stadium, and people were clapping and cheering for me as I finished first for the team. I didn't get 1st place, but I still did good. The race was a mile and a quarter, and I ran it in 8 minutes and 10 seconds. Lastly we watched the high school events, and then went home. It was a fun race!
