STORY OF MY LIFE

Today, I will tell you guys a small story about my life. I was a sophomore when I did Cross Country. Cross Country is a sport about running for long time and on hills. We had a race in Fresno, it was a two day trip. We had to leave early. As we arrived to place where the race was be held at, I got more nervous. Our coach told us, that there will be many kids from different school. We arrived earlier so we can have time to walk the course and warm-up before our race. We were separated by grade level. The fresh mans and the sophomores ran together. While the Juniors and Seniors ran together. We started to warm-up because our race was about to start. Our race started around 5:00 pm. Our coach told us that it was time for the race. We were head to the line. So we could get many girls from our school in front of the line. We all got ready and got into position. Every second that passed I got more nervous. They took a long time, before the people shot the gun in the air for us to start, Me and my cousin started late. We both did't realize he shot the gun. In until, we saw all the girls run. We were the last ones from all the schools. I tried really hard to close the gap between me and the other girls. There was a point where we had to turn. That's where I managed to catch up with some girls. As I got more in the race, I passed more girls. When I got towards the end, I had to compete with a girl from a different school for the last 100 meters. I was side to side with her but I wasn't fast enough to pass her. I came a couple seconds after she finished. To my surprise, I wasn't that tired. I cheered for my teammates that were finishing. After, all the girls finish running the people in charge of the race posted the time results. I went to check my time, it was 15:48 seconds. I was really happy because I beat my time for the last that was 2 miles. I improved by 2 minutes. Even though I had a really late start, I managed to pull through. It became one of my best races.
