Anchor blocks, anchored! Fingers placed carefully behind white line, as they kneel. Shimmies and shakes, settle nerves. Muscles ripple in anticipation; restraining and wanting to propel, simultaneously. The effort of waiting, forms beads of perspiration on brows. The gunshot is met with equally explosive launching power! They run for glory...
