Surf to Turf

 Surf to Turf

Last Tuesday we did Surf to Turf. What is Surf to Turf? Surf to Turf is an event were we run from Kaiapoi, all the way back to Belfast. Once we're back at Belfast, we do some mini events like commando crawl, 50 sit-ups, and 1 minute plank. After all of that we pull a firetruck. Before we did the event on Tuesday, we would do practices every Tuesday and Thursday. We would do mostly running (Because the event was running) and we did some burpees, push-ups etc. When we started the run, I stayed with two of my friends (Josh and Joshua). I managed to keep up with Josh for some of the run, until we lost sight of Joshua. Then I started to get tired so I fell behind of Josh, and stayed with Joshua instead. We both ran together for most of the run until we decided to run with Bill, and Lucas. We all ran together for some of the run until Bill and Joshua got ahead of me and I stayed with Lucas. Then Joshua got left behind by Bill so I ran with him leaving Lucas behind. We ran for a while until we got back to Belfast, then we did all of the activities. First was 1 minute plank, then commando crawl, then 50 sit-ups etc. 

After finishing we got juicies, and a water bottle. After everyone finished, everyone went down the driveway where the firetruck was. There were two ropes, one for the year 8 boys and year 7 girls, and one for the year 8 girls and year 7 boys. When the firetruck alarm started, we started pulling. It didn't feel that hard since there were a lot of us pulling the truck. After awhile of pulling we had to go over a speed bump and I think the truck got stuck. But we managed to pull it hard enough that it got out. After pulling the firetruck all the way up the driveway we took a photo in front of the firetruck. After that we headed back to the finishing line area, and we got hot dogs and some drinks. A few days later we got our rewards for competing in Surf to Turf. We got a Lone Star key chain, a $4.50 McDonalds gift card, and a free one slice of pizza gift card. After finishing Surf to Turf, we headed back to class and had to wait until the bell rang for us to go home.
