Waikato schools triathlon


On the 18th of march five teams of three went to lake Karopiro to compete in the Waikato schools triathlon. when we got there we unpacked all our stuff while two of the parents went to registrar. When they came back with our numbers we moved our stuff up near the main tent and waited for our races to start. First the yr 5 and yr 6 went  then it was time for all our races all the yr 7 and yr 8 teams raced together mixed, girls and boys, first the swimmers swam 1500 meters in the lake then they ran up to the bikers and tagged, them as soon as the  biker has been tagged they run to the bike stands get there bike from the bike rack and then ride 8 km. Next the bikers tag the runner and its there job to finish the race with the 1.5 km run. The runners run half of it on a footpath and the other half on the grass to end the race they run down a big hill and past the finish line. After everyone had finished there races we all went for a nice swim till prizing giving. At prize giving three of TAI teams got medals Toby, Tait and Sarah got first Evon, Max and Kelan got second and Mya, Mikaela and I ( Rain ) got third. After prize giving we all went for one more swim then went back to school to show the school our medals.
