On Wednesday the 28th of March 2018 the Saint Francis A cricket team went to Cobham to play the Cobham A team. I was a reserve and so was Sam T and Matthew H. We got to school, everyone in our team brought their gear and were ready. We still stayed at school for a bit and then at ten past ten we headed out. We got into the van and headed to play Cobham. Once we got there nearly the whole of Cobham was there. I started to get nervous because this was my first ever real game of cricket. Will was captain so he went to go and decide who was going to bat first or bowl. Will won the toss and he decided to bowl first. We all ran onto the field and Cobham got ready to bat. Will and Josh were going to be the first ones to bowl, it was about 20 minutes in and we got our first wicket because Trent caught him out. We all ran of to Trent to congratulate him, after that we all went out to the same spots as last time. 20 minutes later I put my hands out and caught the ball and they all ran over to me...

Queenstown!!! On the last day of school Max, Sam and I went down to Queenstown together. After we packed our bags we went to pick up two people in my team Col and McKenzie. We went to the airport and met the team. We went inside and got our bags checked and then Sam and me saw Max and we ran to him to say hi. Turns out we were going on the same flight and then we got on the plane and I played some games on my iPad. We finally touched down in Queenstown and we had to go straight to the weigh in. After that was all done we went to the camp that we were staying in and there were about 6 teams that was in the Queenstown tournament. As soon as we got our bags in the room and got our beds set up, our whole team played a big game of infected. Sam and I were sure that someone was missing and sure enough Josh P was in bed feeling so sick. I gave him my iPad to play on and then we kept checking on him while we played infected. In the morning we had to get up at about 7:00 o'clock because...

The Duathlon For today's blog post I have deiced to write about the Duathlon. On 7th of March Tuesday 2018, I was getting ready to run a Duathlon. I was so pumped. I said to myself I have to win. I heard the gun shot but it was not my race. It was my sisters, she was going well but she was last on the first lap. I was saying she was going to get wasted but as she was coming around on the second lap she was 4th. Then when she got onto the bike she caught one person and she was 3rd. In the end she got 3rd. Now it was the race that mattered the most, it was my race. I was ready and my Dad was watching from the sideline the gun shot I sprinted the first 200 meters and then found my pace. I was in front of the pack by just a fingernail. It was me and Ethan B the whole time until we came to the bike part and he passed me. I fell behind but on the last lap I caught him. After that I still had 1km of running and I ran and ran because I didn't want Ethan B to pass me. I finely finish...
