Mark's Duathlon

Triathlon at School

On Friday we had a triathlon we had to bring things we needed. We gave our forms to Ms N, before we could go to the triathlon. Everyone joined the seniors triathlon but four people from Te Moana joined the juniors. After we watched the seniors do the triathlon it was the juniors turn to do. We had to do the swimming first and then we go out and run.

We had three events, I came second in the race. Me and my friend had no shoes and bikes. We had to skip it cause we didn’t bring our shoes.

After that the bell rang for lunch time. The triathlon ended we had free icecreams in the whare kai but we had only one ice cream each. Everyone picked the lolly ice cream because it gives you gum. Our parents were coming to our assembly. They came before the triathlon we practiced early in the morning.

The seniors went biking to the beach they had a swim like the juniors before running. Kaavin won the triathlon at the end of it they had a prize for the finish. It was an bar, everyone in the seniors had to do 5 laps round the field. They were tired like a running man. We had to go in our classroom because the bell was going to ring the teacher told us to wait in the cloakroom. After the  bell rang we all rushed into the class and sat down for Mrs N.

We had to listen to our teacher everyone waited patiently for our assembly. Everyone was at the whāre waiting. We all sat down quietly when Mrs N. came she said, “ Oh, wow what an quiet class!” We went to the assembly our parents came in and watched.  Once we were finished everyone got out and had a restful weekend.

Swim Safe Lesson 4

Swim Safe 4.

Today was our last day to have Tracy for Swim Safe. We knew we had to float on our backs for a long time, and to practise as if we have had an accident at sea in our bouncing boats.

The pool was as cold as ice cool beer. The pool was as smooth as paper. The pool was as clear as a ice cube.

We walked down to the pool to get changed. The sun was an orange balloon. The pool was as shiny as a brand new car.

We put our clothes that were as light as a feather then we carefully slid into the calm full water, but once they were wet they were as heavy as a rock. The pool was as blue as light blue dye. We were as calm as ever. We floated on our back, kicking like a motor, for  ten minutes, it was exhausting. Fear hit me as I was floating. The water was as clear as a ice cube. The sun was as bright as neon yellow.

    We learnt that clothes can be really dangerous to swim in or be wearing in water once they get very wet and weighty. My friends were frozen ice cubes but I wasn’t cold. Most of us were tough and just swam through the ice. Our faces were as red as if I had put red lipstick on my face. Nevaeh and I hoped out really fast before we got to the good bit. The good bit was when we quickly chucked on our light clothes, until… SPLASH some of us jumped in the pool that nobody even saw,  oh no! the clothes, they’re to heavy.
