On Saturday we had to wake up at 5.00am to go to Huntly for our waka ama regional competition. We hopped onto the bus and dressed into our sports uniforms. We got there and had to grab a lifejacket and a paddle and then head straight into our lane. We paddled over and waited until the green flag went up. I was shaking. We zoomed off quickly but Ruamata caught us fast and just beat us by a ant's toe nail to the line. We sat down and had a little snack because our next race was at 11.30am. It was time for us to race our second race; it was the 250 metre midgets final race. We were on; Boom the flag went down, we paddled as fast as we could. We won the midget championship for 250 metres. It was time for the 500 metre finalist championship. We went as fast as we could. I could feel butterflies in my stomach and tried really hard. We smashed them! Yay, now we are the Regional Waka Ama Champions for the Midget Boys.......woohoo! We got dressed, got on the bus and crashed out.
