It's like music. When the rhythm gets dissonant and chaotic, it is either a jazzy driving force behind me or demons inside me. What I realized from watching the first day of competition was that athletes that got excited and happy and got the fans into it and clapping, they did better. The athletes that took it too seriously, they didn't do as well as they'd hoped. Gabe Jennings, talking about his Olympic 1500-meter semifinal, in which he finished ninth not qualifying for the final.
Most men take the straight and narrow.
A few take the road less traveled. I chose to cut through the woods. I'd never be able to run that far. It's a play in four acts. Eleven stupid men.
