this moment, my heart raced and sweat enveloped my body, but for different ways this time. I was working harder than I had ever worked in any running race in the past. I was in second place, and third wasn’t far behind me, after working as hard as I did, I wasn’t going to let him catch me. I sprinted towards the finish line and claimed second place. I fell to the ground, exhausted. My legs ached, and my hands were sore from clenching them so tight. My face was red and I felt like the world was…

An athlete can choose to do a more anaerobic event…
