Day Four I went to a Park run at seven o’clock. It was 5km and it took me 25min to complete. The Park run was very fun and my first ever 5km race.

We had Nicole Van de Kaye, Ryan Sissons, Andrea Hewitt and Tayler Reid. After we went to the sky tower which is one of the tallest building in the world and was 77 stores high and had a great view over the Gold Coast.

Day Two I woke up at 4:00 Australia time and had to stay in bed till 5:00. We went to the womens Triathlon at 9:30. Flora Duffy won by a long way but still it was very exciting to watch because we got to see some world class triathletes. The first kiwi was the young and very talented Nicole Van der Kaye in 7th. After the womens race we went back to the unit for an hour and a half. Then we went back to watch the Mens event. Early in the race it was bucketing down with rain and strong winds. Henri Schoeman won with an amazing run. Ryan Sissons ran really well to be the first kiwi and finished 5th overall.
