Jessie pulled herself out of the warming pool, stretched her long, muscular arms high above her head, brought them down, then shook them out. The move was meant to loosen her up, but she found the familiar motion calmed her nerves as well.
As she made her way to the starting block, chants of "U-S-A" vied for attention among the raucous calls of the global spectators.
Reaching down between her feet to set her start, a chorus of "We love you, Jess!" found its way above the din.
A hint of a smile enhanced her determined stare as the horn sounded.
I always wanted to be an olympic swimmer.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I work out in the therapy pool, I am in my own mind!
I think the same thing every time I go swimming. LOL
DeleteI also fancy myself an olympic diver and make quite a spectacle of myself at the pool.
