Rakahuri Rage - Sunday 21st March

                           Rakahuri Rage

Rakahuri rage was really awesome, at first I felt like I was going to collapse because i was so thirsty but then I realised that it wasn't so bad but I felt like a deep fried chip in the weather it was so hot that I drank 7 bottles. The most fun that I had there was when you got to go over the
bumps and go up all the hills because going over the hills were a challenge so every time I had another lap I would try and conquer those hills but there was one hill where I keep crashing into a tree before the hill but luckily the tree had foam protection so we wouldn't hurt ourselves but I'm pretty sure I was the only one out of the year 8s that crashed so it was a bit embarrassing but at least I didn't get hurt.



My team was called black bolt and Riley and Benj were in my team Riley went first because he's a better biker than Benj and I, the thing that was a bit funny that everytime we go and tag the other member we would forget to pull the brakes and we would always crash into each other.
I did three laps my times were 37 mins,39 mins but I don't know my last one so those are my times but at the end when I wasn't aloud to bike but I really wanted to go for another lap but at least at the end of the day we all got a free burger or sausage from the Hellers people.



Most of the track was forest but I didn't mind that so much because that was where you got to cool down because there was shade but as soon as you get into the sun you start to boil so much that you wish you were in a swimming race not a biking race. I was proud of Samuel because he was the third person but he had to go for a fourth lap where everyone else that was third only Did three it was also 7.2 km long but the people that went first had an extra 2kms the course was right next to the race track.
