What happened next:	Coming up to the finish line we had to run behind were the cones were  and there were these white stands
Conclusion:	How did you feel after the race? I felt really tired and then we heard some ,music and so i decided to stand up and dance with most of the girls in year 6 and a few year sevens and eights

utterly exhausted	given my all my all	thankful for the training
gasping for air	the end in sight there was	wishing
struggled onward	relieved it was over i was	sweating /perspiration
slowly trudged	one foot after the other i ran	feeling proud/energised
squish and squelch	bogged down i still tried and had	given it my best shot
