Cross Country

Last week on Friday Paihia School went to Bledisloe Domain for cross country.  All the year groups had different courses to others. At first it was easy then it got more challenging each step. It was hot and I was sweating. My course was a lap around the field, running up a steep hill and rocky paddocks. The teachers were guiding us around thecourse. People who came 1, 2 and 3 got to go to Waikare to run against different schools.The three people who got to go to Waikare are, Vanya,Missy and Anyah from my age group. The other six runners tried their best to make it to the finish line. What I could do better is pace myself so I don’t get tired. What I enjoyed was that I got to run with my friends.

Cross Countery

In Te Ngahere we have cross country coming up.
We have been practicing our running to keep our fitness up.
We had to run 5 times around the pump track,
5 times around the field and 5 times around the court.
We had to get timed for our running and my times kept on going up
and down. We had to make a graph and put our results into seconds.
After we put it in seconds we had to make a line graph.
We used a line graph because pie graphs are harder to understand
then line graph.  We had to name the Y and X axis
so people understand what the lines and numbers mean. 

Cross country training (2 laps)

In Te Ngahere we have been doing Cross Country training.
We have been running 2 laps of our field, pump track and court.
We were trying to decrease the amount of time it took us to finish
the course, also keeping our fitness up. I am very proud of myself
because I have decrease my time by a lot of seconds. I’m not fast
at running but I know that I try my best and push myself to the finish
line. To get our blood pumping we have been doing some warm up
and warm downs after training. Next time I gonna try get a few
seconds off my time.
