New Plymouth cross country part 2

Cross country part 2

The farm was rapidly approaching with every step that my crumbling legs could take me.Agony swept my helpless body like a hurricane. The corner to see the over whelming farm was just a head of me.As I turned the corner I noticed that the hill was covered in boys clambering up like retreating from a lost battle. The sprinting between  one another started while people started going down and at least 3-4 people passed me but then their speed  started to fade and  wash away and as that happened speed rushed into me and I passed 15-17 people to not only recover my spot but also get a better placing.................................for now. Another 50 meters until the hill, I could see people giving up. I thought to myself "so much for keeping a good pace" as I sprinted to the hill. As the hill got closer I dropped down on my hands and knees to crawl up the hill but allot of other people was doing it so I ran up the hill. At the top I realized that there was only 500 meters to go so I sprinted past a couple of people and kept a good pace. The track from there was nice and flat so it would be easy, that’s what I thought. “If I keep this pace I will be able to get a good placing" I said aloud. Some people in front of me turned around and that was my chance. I sprinted past three people and that's were all the trouble started.Vigorous Pain shot through my legs and body.At the last 100 meters unknown speed took me by surprise,my legs full of strength carried me across the finish line leaving my body in relief.My placing is a mystery to this day and always will be (well only I know my placing)
