School Triathlon

 MAPUA SCHOOL TRIATHLON 2014

The pressure was on, the humidity was high, 

and 3,2,1 go! 






We started running at a comfortable pace; we ran a brutal 4 laps then a hard  4 laps on our bikes then finished  off with 4 laps in the ice cold pool.

This was a very competitive event for Red,Blue,Green,and Yellow Houses. 

The run was quite steady but once you got to your bike, you were racing to overtake and stay in the lead, puffing your lungs until they went dry. 

Next, we sprinted our hearts out and hopped in the pool, like a fish escaping the fisher and proceeding towards the ocean. Once we were in the water we struggled to get a gasp of air after each stroke. First we were hot, then cold.

Emerging out of the water, we sprinted like there was no tomorrow to finish the race. 

The results of the Year 7 boys' race: Marco 1st Gus 2nd and Sean 3rd.
The results of the Year 7 girls' race: Olivia 1st, Milly 2nd and Jade 3rd.
