Block two, I’m always block two, not the best, not the worst, it’s perfect. I look at the other girls on their blocks, stretching, shaking out their limbs. Start time, head down, hands gripping the front of the block, the shot rings out. My arms fly forward, head down, breathe in, push off and dive. Adrenaline shoots through me and my body moves naturally throw the water, long precise strokes and a rapid flutter kick I take a breath every four strokes. Two breaths in I’m at the wall, flip, push off, kick and increase speed. The water is moving rapidly past my ears, bubbling and gurgling. My heart is pounding and I really want to breathe again, but I can’t, changing my pattern slows me down. I push hard, lungs aching. Kicking as hard and quickly as I can I splash into the wall slapping it with my palm, ending my time in the 50 Free. The timer yells at me, twenty-eight flat as I stand and breathe rapidly bending over, hands on knees. I smile, not the best, not the worst but perfect for me.
I felt like words weren't the right choice for this prompt, so I'm just going to link to my drawing: https://imgur.com/a/wgTZXYa
