Tom’s muscles burned with every sweeping motion of the oar
as it pushed through the strong waters, the current pulling him back but he
couldn’t let that happen. Trying to ignore the searing pain, Tom pressed on;
harder as the sweat dripped into his eyes, blurring his vision but he couldn’t
wipe it away, couldn’t take his eyes off the goal that was now in reach. A
quick glance over his right shoulder spurred him on; the French on his tail just
as he crossed the finish line; the gold was his, in the barrel race, in the
first Alternative Olympics.
