Been scribbling again and now have ventured outside the BGR for inspiration. Not too far outside though. This is about the joy of descending from a hard earned summit in a race or hard run. That initial doewnhill serction is my favoiurite section in a race and my faveourite races and the real rollercoasters as described below. Hope you recognise this :)
Downhill
Summit crest, dramatic
Hairs on neck, like static
Arms spread, automatic
Potential, now kenetic
Plunging down, exciting
Placing feet, exacting
Braking quads, exploding
Heaving lungs, expanding
All too soon, it’s done
Hands back on thighs, again
‘Till summit crest, dramatic
And haris on neck, like static...
