I was racing in the rain
the cool droplets streaming down my face
I wind blowing in my hair
the loud, obnoxious claps of thunder
I later discovered I had won
I won it all
The race in the rain

I wrote this for all people who have experienced something like this, the last 20 seconds on the clock and you have to win because of your dedication, and love for the sport.
