Paihia Schools Triathlon

On Friday Paihia School had a triathlon  we did it at the beach, and at school.

First of all we set up the transition area.  This is where you had to slip your bike, running shoes and helmet down. There was a place for seniors and juniors. Then we had a briefing with Mrs Williams. She told us what to do and where the track is, and lots more important stuff about the triathlon.

Next we lined up and the seniors started to walked to the beach. I was as nervous as a scaredy cat but also happy as a dog I could smell the fresh air it was so nice there! Then it all began the year  eights then it kept on going till year four.  When it was year five, “I was in that group!” We got ready then on “your mark get set goooooooooooooooo” my heart was pounding so hard, I was so scared that my heart was going to explode! I was in the middle struggling to be in front but when we tried to get out i had overtook Mihi, I was so proud of myself.

After that the people that didn’t swim were ganging up on me I was nearly loosing my place but I kept on going and overtook her. I was puffing so hard I was like the wolf when he had finished trying to blow down the brick house. But I was just there then I looked on the side and saw my mum biking she made me go faster.

Then I grabbed my bike and started  running through transition until I could start biking. I had to go on the field then on our pump track two times.  but I got a bit muddled up with the track and didn't go on the pump track it so I backed up and went on it. But when i did Payton had overtaken me so I overtook Payton and I biked through the finish line and got a muesli bar .Payton came 2nd. Then for a special treat we had Ice cream i had a paddle pop one, but lots of people have finding dory.

After that I was tired I wanted to sleep for 1 hole day. I think the easiest part was the jogging bit the jogging cooled me down good! It was a jammed pack day but very awesome day I loved that my mum came and having ice cream. I hope we have another triathlon!
