Athletics day

Bang. The thick brown bricks smashed together. The competitors had ran as fast as lightning. I almost fell over. I ran quickly to try and place myself in first or second place so I could go to the amazing finals. I was racing my friend in this race. It felt like it was not going to stop for this short 100m race. The light wind blew past my face. I loved the cool breeze on my face. We were nearly at the finish. In the final seconds of the race I was desperate to come first or second, but just like my friend I didn't place myself in the finals. Well in the end all that matters is that I tried.
