These Moments
Take your mark, beep!
I jump as I hear the sound of the buzzer.
I live for these moments,
the moments the adrelaline rushes through your body at the start of a race.
I live for these moments,
the moments that makes the 3 hour practices worth while.
I live for these moments,
the moments when you can hardly breathe but know you need to keep your head below the water to drop time.
I live for these monents,
the moments you touch the wall and see you have only dropped one one hundreth of a second but it makes all the difference.
I live for these moments because this is my life and has been for 11 years.
I live for these moments because I am a swimmer and this is what I love.
