The Transition Zone

About this book

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the official raise the gun; I adjusted my position on the starting block one last time. “Get set!” My muscles tightened. Bang! And I was off. Propelling myself forward with all the strength I had in my legs I plunged into the water, glided for a few moments, and immediately started swimming. One, two, three, breathe. One, two, three, breathe. Concentrate on the movement. Push yourself forward with your arms, not just your legs; mostly with your arms, in fact, you want to have fresh legs for the next phases of the race.
