Cross Country

This is my story on how cross country went for me on the day. Hope you enjoy


It was an overcast day the people in my age group sat on the hot blazing concrete the clouds had a grey setting to it as it was my age group turn the people got up they had a feeling of butterflies in their stomach their hearts were racing really fast. Everyone around me was trying to get a better spot but as soon as I looked at Mr burt he made the noise that had a gun shot noise tone to it as soon as everyone heard it we were off.









Everyone sprinting to the first checkpoint of the race people were running for their lives like it was a earthquake.As I looked around people's goal were just to come in the top 3 positions. But                                                                                                                                                                                                   

as soon as we got to the 2nd checkpoint I was determined to come 2nd or 3rd as we got to the teachers I had a burning sensation in my lungs and heart as we got to the next bunch of teachers I was really tired but I was determined to come in the top 10. As soon as the sun went away it started to get easier to run another lap but when it came back the blazing hot sun was making me sweat like if I was on a desert island.













When we got on to our 2nd lap it was getting harder and harder to run. Every part in my body felt like there were going to give up. My stomach had a big burning sensation and my heart had a burning sensation like it was going to burn me alive but I was starting to feel like I was going to stop but as soon as I got halfway I felt better about myself. When the teachers kept motivating us everyone kept up with their pace and kept going.






As Soon as I saw the finish line I felt like I just ran a triathlon when I jogged to the finish line I still had the burning sensation in my heart. As I walked to the water stand I was so thirsty that I grab the water dumped it over my head and I was proud that I had finished the race and that was how my day at the cross country went.

The Olympic History

According to olympic history the games were made in 776 BC not long after Jesus died. Every year they had a religious festival to Honour the famous god Zeus so they make sacrifices with the ox which is a big cow that they sacrifice to please the gods but now the olympic is not just a religious festival it is international level.


The sports a included by Boxing, Javelin, Chariot riding & Horse riding & Races which you have to run 100 metres with armour and a sword so you will not get killed by the opponents running with you. And  The great town Olympia was were the olympic or religious festival took place.



Then when it got to the the late years of the Greek history a person named Theodosius shut down the Olympics forever but the best sporting event that is well known wouldn’t be shut down forever. But now the Olympic sport does not have poetry or singing they have sporting events that you can get injuries from but now the included new sports including Rugby, Football, Tae Kwon-do, Wrestling & Judo.





Now when the Olympics was shut down they had no idea what they were going to please the powerful god Zeus and the had now clue how to please him but then when was close to the 1800 century one person thought that the Olympia were not going to be ended forever then he stood up and found a solution.





He was talking to some people then they agreed with him to bring the Olympia back but now it's called the Olympics when the person told everyone he thought again to make it into a worldwide sport so the world could join in on what the Greeks enjoyed for a long period of time so they announced that the sport is worldwide so when the word spread out the Greeks said it would done every 4 years.



When it came to the 1800 century the games took place in Paris. Then in the 1900 century the Olympics took place in London then on and on the Olympics became an event that is worldwide famous. But now the  event is being taken in Rio in Brazil where people could get diseases but people have events that are more fun to keep them going for gold.





And that is how the Olympics started.
