Prologue (Orange) - Splits

Chasing Sprint - Splits

no more school!

At school at dinner with the X-counrty club. came 3rd/6 was with hugo all the way from the start and was ahead of hi by 1 metre after the first lap, and on the 2nd lap we were neck and neck all the way round and it came down to a sprint finish and hugo by like half a metre. beat jake,sir and some random guy. i think it was good that we were both together all the way round because we kept on pushing each other, and i beat my best by 30 seconds.
