That's how it felt when I was doing the individual 10 year olds race. It was my first time participating in the tryathlon and it's not easy, thinking how fast the other competitors were going compared to me. Suddenly, the whistle blew, everyone was sprinting for the lead. As we approached the swimming pool I tried to go faster as I settled into fourth place.

By the time I hopped out I was still in third or fourth. Unfortunately while I was getting my biking gear on I lost about four positions, (including the girls) but luckily I made a few up on cycling, I powered down a straight on 7th gear, twice as fast as anyone else. By the time I got running I was about 5th place. I started off in a sprint but quickly ran out of energy. That doesn't mean I stopped, I kept the same pace and gained one position, putting me back into fourth. I completed my three laps and powered down the final straight."Yes!" I had finished! While I was finishing I thought I was in third but I soon found out I was in fourth place.
