Jahdan's story The Yacht Race.
The Yacht race!!!
Life jackets on check, Sun hat check, water bottle check, waiting in line check. “I’m all ready M.S J”.
“Good work Jahdan. Ok everyone walk in a single file line to the wharf”.
I had to hang back with Soph at the back of the line to make sure that no one fell behind. Mean while in The Bay me and M.S Joy were having a conversation about xbox and other stuff E.G ( xbox games swimming and sports) until we got to the wharf. I looked over the side of the wharf, I could see the Casteaux with Rastus as our skipper.
One by one we slowly hopped on the boat that is going to take us out to see the racing yachts leave. I jumped on and I began to have a we snoop around the big blue boat docked up at the wharf. The engine started throttle on and away we go!!!
15 Minutes later I looked at all the yachts that were all lined up all along at the front of The Bay. Moments later... Bang!!! The race began, if Revs didn’t show off so much they would be in the lead but look at them now they’re in last place what a shame.
“Truxton Surreal and E Copellia are neck and neck, Surreal’s taking the lead wait now it’s Truxton”.
“Now Surreal is back in fist place, wow here comes E Copellia By golly the three boats are evenly matched. I’ve never seen a performance this good in my life!!!”
The three boats stayed neck and neck until I could no longer see them and not long after that the other Yachts vanished too so we turned back to the Island and went home.

SSANZ YACHT RACE
SSANZ YACHT RACE
BEEEPP!! As the last whistle blew the yachts snatched the breaths of wind to hurtle through the starting passage.
Mostly everyone was going for Surreal BUT Truxton took the lead. As they drew closer to the Titi Islands, Rastus turned the Casteaux’s radar on, tracking their every move.
The Casteaux moved along the fleet of yachts leaving Vingilot in its wake.The incredibly fast Truxton was showing off, setting a wonderful pace.
Cameron & Tim - crew of Surreal - were eager to get the lead but their hopes were dashed because Truxton were pulling the lead out into deeper water.
As soon as the yachts were no more than dots on the horizon we accelerated back to the wharf. As we approached our destination we played standing long jump. THUMP!!

SHOT PUT
“Hopefully I’m not LAST again” I groan.
“Sophie C., Halfmoon Bay” the Lady says.
“Right here” I call. As I line up I can see people having their throws already.
As I pick up the shot it feels really light. Nah! Definitely not two kilograms! I raise the shot to my neck. 3 2 1 Thump! As the shot crashes to the ground it passes the flag with ‘3 Girls’. It’s probably six meters or something like that.

“WOW! You are good!” my friend exclaims.
“Really? It’s only six meters” I reply.
“NO it’s not, it’s 7.23 meters” the Lady announces.
“7.23, thats my PB” I blurt. The words stumble out of my mouth.
When I finish I sprint over to Mum. “Mum guess what; I bet my PB!” I shout.
One hour later, “Ten Girls Shot Put ... Sophie C. Halfmoon Bay third.”

Jahdan's running movie 2012
12 Year old boys 100m run.
As we take our places at the start of the race we have a few minutes to get ready for the sprint of our lives.
We got into our lanes ready to start sprinting for the chance to go to Southland. Everyone was eager to run. We all sounded like racing cars burning their wheels on the track.
3 2 1 GO!!! I heave my legs it was as if my legs were missiles ready to hit it’s target at the finish line. At the 50m mark I started to fall behind so I used the adrenalin I had left, then I sped right back up to 2nd place. I am confident that I might win the race. I only had one chance left so I launched my legs and it felt like my speed limit just went up to a hundred km per hour. The race has finished and a huge load of pain shot up my leg but I didn’t care. I just was glad that I made it to Southland by coming 2nd place. Now that the race was over I had to limp to the rest of the events for the rest of day.... and get my foot wrapped up in bandages and the rest of the day was hell on Earth!!!!!
