I arrive in Edmonton, in the South West of Canada. Where this years commonwealth games are being held. I Came to Edmonton on a Ploat, a plane crossed with a boat. We sailed from England to British Columbia and flew from British Columbia to Edmonton. I have to beat Last Commonwealth games winner, my nemesis. Josh Fentiman. I get a floating taxi to the hotel where I am going to sleep tonight. When I get out I find it weird that the taxi driver didn't charge me any money. I think he knew that I was an international triathlete. I get up to the top floor, where my hotel room was and it was 70 floors to the top. I cook some pasta because I was carbo loading for tomorrows race where I would beat, Josh Fentiman.
The next morning I wake up and realize That I am late for the triathlon. I jump out of bed, put my gear on, grab a banana and run out to get a taxi. The first taxi I see pulls right over and picks me up. I tell him to drive to The Olympic sized swimming pool and step on it. He goes as fast as he can and we get their just before the triathlon starts. I run over to the diving block and look over and see him. Josh Fentiman. In a way I think that I will lose the triathlon but in another way I think I might win it. The nervousness starts and the adrenaline kicks in.
The beep goes and we dive into the pool. I look over and I Josh is way behind me. I think to myself “this is gonna be a breeze.” I jump out of the swimming pool and run over to the bike transition and I jump on my floating bike and start riding until I fall off my bike and loose loads of time. Josh overtakes me and I am very angry I jump back on my floating bike and sprint to get him. I get to the running transition and he is still in front of me I get my bouncy shoes on and jump faster than I have ever been before. I get to Josh and stick behind him until the last straight then jump over him and cross the finish line. I can’t believe I won the triathlon I am so happy I fall over. Josh comes over the finish line just before I do and when I fall over he helped me up because we were doing so well. The next people to come over the line where Cameroon and Namibia. Namibia was 1000s of a second in front of Cameroon and Namibia came 3rd.
The next part was the medal ceremony and I was in the middle of Josh and The Namibian person. When they called us out we walked to the podium and we stood behind them. The Guy said “And in 3rd place, Representing Namibia, Dirk Coetzee.” The the guy says again “And in 2nd place representing New Zealand, Josh Fentiman” then Josh looks at me, and I can read his face, he is saying, “I can’t believe I didn't win.” Then the guy then says again “And in 1st place, representing England, Finlay Brown” and everybody cheers for me and I feel so happy. That night I fall asleep and I say to myself and I am so glad I am in the commonwealth games, and I want to stay like this forever.
