9、已经进入最正确状态。我只要跑两圈就行了，就两圈。跑完这两圈，过去两天以及28年来所有感情和身体上的辛苦付出就将被成功也许失败所淹没。这一跑真是生死攸关。我不断地告诉自己：也就是跑两分钟，谁都能跑两分钟。8Thestartinggunwasfired,andtheracebegan.Thefirstlapwasgood,Imanagedtokeepupwiththegroup,butIwasfeelingmuchmoretiredthanIusuallydid,andmuchmorethanIdanticipated.Boththelong,hardweeksoftrainingthathadl

16、，我知道其他运动员的地址，我必定我赢了。但是，若是我不是亲眼看见记分牌上的成绩，我就无法让自己相信这是真的。当我站在那处，仰头望着记分牌等待确认成绩时，我全力打消脑子里消极的念想，但是我还是不由得想：若是我再次与冠军失之交臂怎么办若是我经历了这些劫难却又一次失败了，那该怎么办12InthedistanceIcouldhearthecommentaryteamtalkingabouttwodaysoftoughcompetition,thenIcouldalmosthearsomeonesay,Ithinkshesdoneenough.ThenextthingIknew,SabineBrauno
