Adventure Racing 24:00 2.0 km (12:00 / km)
I lined up with 150 other kids, most of them were big kids 7,8 and 9 but I wasn't worried as I've done 2 other races and lots of string courses. This was my first race by myself! Last time in January with Mum we stopped to play and I didn't really want to run into the finish - but I'm a lot older now.
The first bit was an 800m run - 400m uphill on the golf course fairway and then 400m back down the single track. We all started really fast... For about halfway up the hill, then it got a bit tiring. I wasn't at the back though and I was in front of a lot of big kids :-). Then I found my bike in transition like Dad told me to, run to the last rack and along to the second pole. I put my helmet on by myself then ran to the exit - you're Not Allowed to ride your bike in transition and I'm good with Rules.
The ride was a bit hard - it was uphill to start but then on gravel single track back down with lots of corners and bumps.We've got a gravel track at home in our garden so I rided this fine. From the bottom of the carpark it was uphill all the way back and my legs were really tired - do you know my bike has no gears?
Afterwards I had 3 cups of water and then got dad to take me to the beach so I could run on the beach and play on the granite rocks. We stayed at Jess' house and just like at home I was in the top bunk - and I had a really good sleep.
