43 We were really close for the first half, but I was in the lead.
44 I noticed that Madison’s elbows seemed to fly out from her
body a little. It was almost as if she was having trouble
keeping her arms in close like you’re supposed to.
45 We went around the second turn. That’s when Madison
sped up.
46 I tried to keep up with her, but I was out of energy. Plus,
my knee was bugging me again.
47 Madison beat me by about two meters. That’s a lot in such
a short race.
48 After we caught our breath, I asked, “What’s your secret?”
49 “I used to try to sprint the whole thing, but I was always so
wiped out by the end. My coach suggested I try it a different
way,” Madison explained. “If you run a little slower than
normal for the first half of the race, you can speed up for the
second half and pass everyone.” She shrugged. ‘’It works
really well.”
50 I thought for a minute. “Okay,” I said. “Let’s run it again.
This time I’ll try it your way.”
