6.4 seconds
March 28, 2012
Bang!
I observe the group fly for the finish line
I tell myself…
“I can do this, just clear your head and run”
I’m in my lane…
Pumping myself up, stretching my legs out, getting as flexible as a snake
In my head I comprehend what is going on, then….
Bang!
I jolt forward
Pushing myself harder the I’ve ever done
As I’m sprinting…
Everything slows as if I’m running through caramel
Finally I’m over the finish line…
In my head the same thing is echoing…
6.4 seconds
I strut off the track thinking…
That was the best 6.4 seconds of my life
