FACING THE PACK

Hesitatingly, I trek to the line,

My feet grip in the itchy grass.

I was nervous to complete the 200 metres,

I catch a glance at my eager contestants.

I seek the finish line far away, BANG!

Just then the race had started we were off.

Sprinting,speedily,heart racing,

I scampered past the others,

I dropped down to third place with my very last lap to go.

Getting close to the finish line

I sprint my heart out hoping to get a place.

THIRD!

Rowing machine

Striding up to the rowing machine

Crouching onto it.

My hands clutch onto the rope,

Staring at the screen.

GO!

Pumping, stretching, pushing, sliding,

Hands shaking like a rattle.

Arms stretching across again,

Puffing

Sweat drips down like a drink bottle leaking down my face

Legs wobbling, mouth gasping for air.

100metre comes onto the screen

Yay!

Feeling fatigued, I stumble away back to my seat.
