Never give up

Speeding fast,
down the line.
In the lead,
I'm doing fine.

up on my left,
here comes a guy.
I lose my mind,
he flies on by.

I try and try,
to win the race.
we're neck in neck,
in this crazy pace.

the final stretch,
i see my goal.
straight ahead,
there's the finish chute pole.

I scream in agony,
to all this pain.
as i think to myself,
"this is why I train."

Here we go,
one last chance.
It gets real quiet,
I'm in a deep trance.

The next thing I hear,
Is "red then blue!"
My perseverance,
finally came threw.
