100WC19 The Final Race

My legs are about to give up. I feel like passing out. I’m in the lead but I cant stop. The finish line comes to my view. I’m almost there. Just 10 more steps till victory. Until I hear footsteps getting louder and louder behind me. They’re getting closer by the step. Thump. Thump. They’re right beside me. This was my moment.  I rip through the silky ribbon. The only thing I don’t know is who won first. The announcer gets his megaphone out.  ”And the winner is…”, In my head I pray for my name to be called. “…George Walmsey!” Tears of happiness fall from my eyes. I did it. I won!
