The Weetbix Tryathlon

On Sunday I did the Weetbix Tryathlon. I did running, biking, swimming. It was awesome. But you don't have to do every biking, running swimming. But if you sign up you have to do running, biking, swimming. But you also you can choose one of those things. I did not choose one thing. I did all the run, bike, swim. But it was so tiring. But at the end of the Weetbix Tryathlon we walked onto a big, big stage. if you won a prize you can go up the stage if you wan to but you do not have to go up the stage if you don't want to. But at the end you get a golden medal.

Teacher comment:
Re-read as you write so you do not repeat yourself.
Next step:
You could add more details like where it took place, how many were there, and how you felt doing each thing.
