I watched intently as the official hit the reset button on his stopwatch. My mind travelled back to my days of training, I was outside come rain or shine, will it pay off? I looked around at my competition; I can do this, I thought as I took my socks off. I could feel the butterflies in my stomach.
"Kiwi, are you ready?" I heard, bringing me back to reality. This is it, do or die time.
"go"
I could feel the intense coldness of the snow penetrate through my bare feet. As I rounded the last corner of the building I could hear screams of encouragement as I made my way back inside to the finish line. 11 seconds. "Yeah kiwi"
Welcome to station 2 Olympics.
After completion of the barefoot run around station 2 we moved onto the other events.
DIZZY DARTS - being spun around 3 times then trying to hit the dartboard
TABLE BOULDERING - Starting on top of the table and successfully working your way around and underneath it.
HOLDING YOUR BREATH - well, it's self-explanatory
PAPER BAG LIMBO - Stand on one leg, bend down and pick up the bag with your mouth. It gets shorter and shorter (harder than it sounds)
KIWI COPYING - Who can do the best kiwi impersonation
Needless to say we had a lot of fun! I represented New Zealand well, obtaining a few medals.
