Weet-Bix Triathlon

Hi, my name is Jaeziah and I did the Weet-Bix Triathlon. Even though the weather was holding us back and slowed plans down we persevered through and did it. When my partner Jordan started swimming I was nervous. I waited for Jordan to finish swimming so I could start biking but he was still in the pool for a while. But a minute later he finished his swim and I tagged him and then I started my biking.                                                                                                                                                                                                    When I started to bike it had all ready cleared up unlike the other races and I didn't end up biking in the rain so that was nice but anyway. I started to bike along and then I started to catch up to a big pack of triathletes. So I tried to go through them but it just didn't work so I just stayed in the back until a big, wide space so I could pass other people. Later on in the bike there was a big, wide space like I hoped so I started to pass people and then there was a point were we passed The Esplanade, went over a speed bump and then I hoped off my bike I was like "I'm nearly finished the bike"! Then I saw the transition and stood my bike up then ran to Jordan to start the run.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     When I started to run with Jordan we were enjoying the run very much it was nice and easy to start with but when we got to halfway I started to struggle but Jordan help me push through and then I saw my mother and my brother who had already finished the race and they were both following me around when I was running but at the end we runed as hard as we could and we finished.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       We got our medal and a cup of water and I said "Yay we finished the triathlon". So we waited in line to take our picture  and then got our ice blocks and went back to mum. She said to me that I could have some nachos and a hot chocolate with two marshmellows and they were very tasty. After that whole day their was the bike giveaway and I nearly won a bike twice but I like my old bike just how it is. Then when it was all finish I got my bike walked to the car, got a frozen coke from Burger King (cause we were good) and then went home.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Swimming Sports

On Tuesday the Senior Syndicate went to do some swimming sports we there would be races and relays. I entered the 25m freestyle and it went great because I got third and got a black rod. My brother got 2nd and a brown rod and Jordan came first and got an orange rod. A black rod was one point a brown rod was two points and a orange rod was three points. The fun relays were fun to you either got a donut or a surfboard but it depended which house you were in. I was in Weka and my team got a donut. We got 3rd out of 4 and I felt we could do better but I was still happy with the result because at least we didn't come last. After all that there was a adults/teachers vs students race and the adults/teachers won even though the students put up a good fight. Then we all wanted free time but didn't have the time for it so we got dressed, packed up all of the stuff and went back to school.

Zirka Circus

When I went to Zirka Circus I thought I was going to be bored and but when I left I didn't have any socks. It was the greatest 2 hours of my life.                                                                                                               The opening act was about a boy who lost is toy bike and then went out to try and find it. But then he meets with what looks like a water goddess who brings his toy bike back. He looked around in shock and wondered "How did this happen?" but still burst in joy that his toy bike was back.
The next act was one of my favourite acts out of the entire show. There were these people dressed up as pirates and they did the most amazing things on two poles. First they did some back flips on the ground but then they climbed up the poles did a trick and then hanging by just their legs upside down they let go dropped and then just before they hit the ground they gripped back on with their legs and then did half a back flip and landed on their feet. I went in my head "Wow that was amazing!"
