That Feeling...

The overpowering pressure you get deep down within your soul, coming around that famous bend. Blazing past the 300 meter mark as you stare down that long cinder lane, grasping to find that final deep breath. You open up your stride to unleash that un-healthy thing of a kick and then that feeling comes. That feeling of complete power and strength. You are an animal! That long lost, but familiar cool spring breeze comes along your back pushing you towards that tiny line. That line that is so small, but yet means everything. As you pump those arms in a last second effort to shave milli-seconds off that damn clock. Your form is nothing less than your best, your final stride is pushing three meters, as you blaze through that line with that classic "near death" feeling that is familiar but new. Your body is to the point of collapse as you try to find any position that brings small amounts of relief. With your arms above your head trying to find those deep, grasping, hidden breaths you are rewarded with a feeling of self confidence and complete accomplishment...
