Cross Country

This photo was taken at the end of this years cross country. The course was pretty good this year as it went around Te Puru and just through Omana back through the forest to the finish. The course was fairly muddy as you can see. It was a good race for me because I managed to get a 4th place which is pretty good . My technique is to get into a good spot at the start and then play a Metallica song in your head for the rest of the race. Focusing on the song seems to let me run further and the I chose Metallica because they have good songs. When I finished I was so exhausted that it felt like I was going to faint and when they asked what house I was in I couldn’t quite remember for a few seconds. Overall I would have to say that this was my best cross country so far and we will have to see what college brings.
