The Weet-bix Tryathlon

On the 24th of March it was the day of the Weet-bix Tryathlon.  It was an icy cold day and I was cold in my clothes. All the tents had been set up at Ongley park the day before. I carefully wheeled my bike so that my stuff didn't fall off. I was really excited for the tryathlon because I had done it last year and nearly all my friends were competing.

Quickly, I wheeled my bike to the transition tent so I didn't get wet. All the 10 year old boys and girls got a light blue swimming cap and you got it once the people scanned the code. After I found a spot to put my bike and I greeted my friend Ivy on the way out. Finally I could relax and enjoy all the stands. 

Once it was race time the teachers explained what would happen. It was a gloomy day outside and we had to stand in the rain for 30 minutes until we were under the tent. I thought the pool was going to be cold but once I hopped into the pool it was as warm as a spa.

We had to swim 100 metres bike 4 km and run 1.5 km. Once we were off the nervous butterflies in my stomach flew away and I went really smoothly through the race. At the end of the race I crossed the line, very proud of myself. At the end I got a photo of me and my friends Lara, Stevie, Zara and myself. I got an apple and an ice block and of course a medal

I am so proud of myself and I am definitely coming back next year.
