The race.

This is in honor of the Olympics! I've never been, but this is what I think it'd be like.

Breathe...just breathe....in. out. in. out. It's going to be fine. You'll be ok.

The crowd is getting louder. I know, just breathe. I'm getting more nervous.

Just breathe!

Ok, ok, ok.

Now, open your eyes. It's almost time.

Almost time? What? It couldn't be.

Yeah, it is. This is something you've been waiting for all your life. Just breathe. Ok. See? It's not that bad.

I guess you're right. It's kind of exhilarating. I'm gettin' pumped now! Listen to that! They're chanting my name! I'm SO ready now!

Good. see, I told you.

Now what am I swimming again?

Oh geez..how did we make it here again? You're swimming the 50 free. Remember?

Oh yeah. I remember now. I like this race! It's over nice and fast.

Yeah, but you have to go fast too.

I know what to do. You don't have to tell me everything. Now go away for awhile so I can breathe.

If only I could...

Breathe...breathe...breathe...in. out. in. out.

Now wave....ok. We're good.

"Swimmers, take your mark...." beep!








Look, it's almost over. One more stroke.

Listen to that roar? What did we do? Oh.
