On the 28th the senior syndicate had our challenging Surf to Turf, Surf to Turf is when we run 5km from the Waimak to our Belfast school field. We ran a track from next to the Waimak down the main road and to the rugby club rooms driveway.
Once we ran up the driveway we had to complete a set of challenges the first one was 1 minuter plank hold then chicken wire where we commando crawled under string. Then we had to 50 sit ups and then roll a tyre through cones and then run to the finish line. Once we passed the finish line we got to have a juice either a berry or cola, I got a cola one it was really refreshing!!
After a decent half and hour a fire truck showed up, the firemen and women tied ropes to the front of the truck and we pulled from the end of the driveway to the top. Then they grabbed the hose out and wet everyone, even the rest of the school. After the fire truck we got a sausage sizzle from the BCN as afternoon tea.
Before we did surf to turf we had six weeks of training we would have a Tuesday morning training at 7:00am till 8:30am with Miss Wing and then we would have breakfast at the BCN, most of the time we would have cereal and hot chocolate but one lucky day Matua George made 100's of pancakes. He made noramal white chocolate pancakes chocolate pancake blueberry pancakes which were my favourite I had two. We also had practice after school on a Thursday till 4:00pm I couldn't go because I had dance.
I really enjoyed Surf to Turf, it should become an annual thing. I bet all the younger students would have a blast and enjoy it! If I was still at school I would love to do it for the years to come!
