On Wednesday morning at Haumoana School, all the triathletes were buzzing with excitement because the HB Triathlon Champs were today! Everyone was very nervous, but we all knew that we could succeed!
We all raced to the car park of Haumoana School, excited to see who got to Clive pools first! Finally, we all got to Farndon Park. Cyclists were putting their bikes on the racks, and the swimmers went inside to get changed.
Once everyone was ready, some of us put our school tent up. There was a lot of waiting. It was only 9.20, and the race didn’t start until 10.00! Finally, the race started! The swimmers dashed into the pool like lightning bolts. The team swimmers ran out of the pool to tag their cycle buddies. The Cyclists sped off into the distance. When they came back, they tagged the runners and off they went! The individuals were very fit and finished with impressive results!!!
Once the race was over, the prizes were ready. Everyone was eagerly waiting, hoping to get one of the awesome spot prizes! These are our results:
Individual:
1st Y5 boys Will
3rd Y5 boys Wesley
5th Y5 boys Noah
1st Y5 girls Tessa

So we were very successful! Mostly everyone was happy with their results.
Some of us got spot prizes. About 4 of us did. Some of us tried so hard that we looked like we were about to cry!
At the end of a long, hard day, we all deserved to sit down and relax. We all tried our hardest and represented the school properly, and the entire school was proud of us!
