When I woke up at 6:20 I was so excited to go to St. Augustine. We went to my school and everyone was boarding the buses. It was a two hour drive. When we got there I was so excited.

First we went to go learn about 1/3 of a really old ship and they were still building it. After that we went to the blacksmith. I liked it because you could smell all of the iron. Then we talked about the gunsmith.

We went to a watchtower we could we the fort from there it was so awesome. When we got down we went to a trolley tour we and went by the fort and our guide said if you go deep enough in the water you can still see heads.

After that we went to the fort. We got to sit on the beds that people who fought slept in. It was made of hay and a small cover. We went to the top of the fort were all of the cannons were.

Then we when’s to the pirate museum. It was awesome. They said pirates don’t actually say rrrr. We learned about Blackbeard.

I had a great time a St Augustine.

We had to wake up at 6:45 to go the triathlon. Once we got to Blanchard Park, we had to sign in then we get our stuff. I got to hang out with my friends – so it was fun. Then it starts and we swim for four laps. Next we got out of the pool. The hardest part about that was breathing.

Then I went biking for 3 miles. It was easy because that’s what I practice the most. I like it because it was easy it felt like 1 and a half of miles.

Then I got off my bike and start to run. I ran for 1 and a half of miles. This was hard because in the beginning I got a cramp for the rest of the race so I couldn’t sprint at the end. I came in 8th place in my age group with a time of 27:14. It was fun – but I don’t know if I want to do it again.
