Big Race [continuation]

That big race ended last week on a Tuesday. I got out of class at 11.20 a.m. I played catching with the other members of the athletics team. I was supposed to be in the bus at 12 o'clock in the afternoon but the bus arrived 10 minutes late. We couldn't play on the bus. It was quite noisy with laughter. Most of it came when one of the primary 5 pupil shouted Germany in a stupid and funny way. Everyone started to follow and burst out laughing. Thank goodness we had time to do a bit of training. After that, we did some streching and warm-ups and then started our training again . Then it was time for the primary sixes race. It wasn't fair. They get to skip a lot of training. We stopped our training when it was one hour till the primary 5 race. The primary 5 sat on their seats and us, primary 4, had to do some last minute selections. We went down to the carpark to select the third runner. I, Ariff ,the second runner, Shafiq, the first runner and Salihin, the fourth runner were first choice as we were selected straight away by our teacher in charge, Mr Mok. We didn't have to run do selections. There are three people left to be selected to be in the third runner. Karthik, Zulhaziq and Mikhail. Mikhail was actually the best in speed amongst the three of them but he was not good at running curves so my classmate,Zulhaziq was selected. The race started and Shafiq was starting in the second lane so we didn't get a good head start. I started to run but I didn't catch up nor did I slow down. Zulhaziq's run was easy as he caught up to one competitor. Salihin grabed the baton ,ran , and managed to get the third position. We didn't get into the semi-finals though. Playing catching and eating ice-cream cheered us up. After the girls race, we went home.
