Winning The Race

by Gavin Turrell We're being held, tension mounting focus is only ahead. We need a good start Five strokes of brute force, Start within 10 seconds. We're off, Up to warp speed Crews fall away, deadly speed. 60 metres to go, Arms spinning Water flying Red buoys closing down fast. Auto pilot No time to think Three strokes a second Red-lining it Crossing the line Release of tension Glory All the work worthwhile We did it!!
