I hate losing, even if it's in swimming, something that I am new too. I don't like finishing last in relay races in swim class even if I am going up against some college swimmers and former high school swimmers.
I finished last for the first 3 races in free style, breast stroke and butterfly. The last race was the backstroke, which I knew was my best stroke. I wanted to not finish last so badly.
I got out to a great start as far as I was concerned. Towards the end I was getting tired. I started to slow down but I wanted to push through so badly. As I was slowing down this voice came into my head. I saw and heard this person going "LETS GO!!!!" "COME ON, LET'S GO!!!!!!" to me in my mind. It worked. I beat one person in the backstroke and I am giving Mrs. Let's Go an assist. I think you can figure out who that is.
I also almost puked after a weightlifting workout and swimming workout for class. I may be one of a few people who always pushes themselves in gym class in college.
