Mud run writing

We had to write a piece of writing related to a picture of a person in mud. I hope you enjoy. :) The Mud Run We were at Camp Green Pastures. It was time for the mud run. As we trudged along the grassy path I chatted happily to my friends: Isabella, Jaweria, and Emma. “What do you think it will be like?” asked Isabella. “How long will it be?” Questioned Jaweria. “ Do you think that we will be able to go around more than once?” Emma shouted eagerly over the noise. I replied to all of them with the same answer every time: “ I don’t know!” I answered patiently. When we got there we could all smell the stink from the mud (there also might of been a bit of cow poo in it too.). They let the parents go first through so they could find a place to stand incase they need to help us along the way. When they were ready then we got to go down in a group of 4. “ Next up is Jaweria, Isabella, Emma and Tiaki.” called Miss G. “ YAY!” we yelled together. We made our way down to the sticky gooey mud. As it squelched beneath our feet we realized that the mud got deeper and deeper and even harder to walk through. We jumped into a muddy sticky pond. Emma went right under. When she came back up again she had mud completely covering her whole face. We all giggled to ourselves. As we carried on Isabella and I spotted that Emma and Jaweria looked like they were struggling quite a bit. Suddenly with no warning they stopped moving their legs altogether. “Isabella, Tiaki! Help we’re stuck!” They called. Isabella and I thought quickly. “Wait there and don’t move we will go and get Mr R to come and help.” I shouted back. “ We kind of can’t move anyway.” Jaweria said sarcastically. Isabella and I went through the rest of the mud run as fast as we could. When we found Mr Robertson we quickly explained what had happened. We were quite relieved when he produced a long strong rope. “Show me where they are.” he commanded us. “ They are over here.” We replied together. We lead the way with our hearts beating loudly. When we reached Jaweria and Emma they looked as if they had gone down a bit in the mud. Also their expression looked a bit sad but their faces brightened a whole lot when they saw us and the rope. “ Alright girls we are going to get you out of this mess. Please grab hold of the rope when we throw it to you. When you do then we can pull you out. Ok?” instructed Mr R “Yep.” Replied Emma and Jaweria. Mr R threw the rope and they caught it. Then we heaved! Slowly but surely they were yanked out of the mud. “ Who hoo!” We screamed. Together we finished the Mud Run. (thankfully no one else got stuck) After it was over and we had washed our clothes in the river we almost fell asleep. We got back to camp and never saw it again.
