Heart pounds
The shot gun goes off
And I fly past the others
On my feet
I circled the loop
Ran down the near
The pond
I ran the whole way
Only stopping to keep
A steady pace
Even that was hard to do
I was too excited to slow down
I crossed the finish line
My team running towards me
‘Alex! Alex!’ they chanted
I was a winner
I am a winner
