Individual Triathlon 2009 By Sophie W

On Wednesday I did the exciting and fun individual triathlon at Fendalton School. I did it to have fun and complete it. First I put on my number, it was 6-2.We had to put the number on our left arm and we had a choice to put it on our left leg. I lay out my white towel and got my blue and white shoes ready. What I mean by that is I pulled out the tongue and stretched out my shoes. Next Mr Norton called out our numbers and got us lined up to go into the pool. We were in the pool area and it was my group's turn. Beep- the beeper had gone, and I dived in. It was very warm. The water splashed over the edge. I swam two lengths. I was in the lead. Next I hopped out, ran to my bike, and put my shoes on. It was hard at the start but then I got my foot in. I put my stand up and walked my bike out until I got to the start, and then I got on my bike and sped away. When I biked around Jefferies Park Katie took over me (she was fast), and when I went round the field, I heard people cheering me on, so I looked to the side and saw Annabel and Victoria cheering me on so I biked as hard that I could to the end of the bike it was very hard,and at the end of the bike I gave my to the person and dropped my helmet. I started running the course but not hard out because otherwise I would get really tired at the end and then I would not be able to sprint to the finish line. When I went round the corner and out of the school,Grace cheered me on. I got on the field in Siberia I over took Katie because she slowed down and so finally got to the finish and sprinted to the end(thats why I saved my energy). I was very really puffed and tired at the end and I felt really good because I completed my goal.
THE END
