As we lined up  for the race I had butterflies in my tummy and … the whistle blew and we all started running it felt like each step was torture and each step was like my feet were going to fall off  as I take deep breathes.I could feel the heat from the sun draining my energy it was like the air was melting and we couldn’t breathe.Soon I could see the finish line up ahead as I sprinted in the end I came second.
