Answer 1

For the past seven years, I have called myself a swimmer. Swimming, my one sport, provides a necessary outlet for my abundant energy. I have always drawn satisfaction from exertion, straining my muscles to their limits. I don't know why pushing forward in the water, as my muscles cries out in pain, sets off a booming cheer in my head. Many times, when I rounded the turn for the last lap of a race, my complaining muscles want to downshift and idle to the finish.

My mind, however, presses the pedal to the floor and yells, "FASTER!" The moment that I touch the wall my muscles relax; the pain subsides. I am pleased to have passed the point of conflict.
