Commotion

W.A.L.T.. use descriptive and interesting vocabulary in your work and create inks between paragraphs. We had to describe an image of a cyclist in detail and write what he would think, hear see. Next time I think I could focus more on what he was thinking in the race.

The sun’s scorching rays shine down on the crowd on the hot Christchurch day. The barriers contain the enthusiastic crowd as they shout encouraging words at me and giving me strength to pass the man in front of me. I look ahead and see the two other competitors cycling in front of me, everyone whips out their phones and cameras to capture the moment as I pass the French Cyclist. With muscles aching I gather my last bit of energy and accelerate forward the crowd going ballistic that New Zealand might win the race.

I glance over to the side and see the people cheering me on, they give me hope so I ignore my aching muscles and race on ahead. It all happens in a second my pedal clips the wheel of the German cyclist and my bike flips over with me in tow. The rest of the competitors break rapidly to stop in time, but they fail and they all fall down one by one. Commotion starts as the mob of people start to panic and the already overwhelming  noise grows louder. Athletes are slowly beginning to get up as the paramedics rush over to help the helpless cyclists when everything goes black.
