At the last minute, just before both swims, I decided to pull out. The reality is
2、, I live in fear of coming last.Last year, before the two events, I realized that I couldnt deal with coming last. I had looked at the swim times of those who had completed the previous year and calculated that, at my current swim pace, I would probably have come last in both. I just couldnt face it
3、. But when next year came around, I decided to enter those same events again.For a few months, I trained hard, but I didnt get any faster. Then it was June 5, the day of the Jubilee River 10 km. The event started at 9：30 am., and the swimmers were anxious and eager to start. As I swam along, the riv

There were at least some swimmers still near

As I concentrated on doing my own thing, watching the sky, the bank, the other swimming caps passing or not passing, I realized I was enjoying myself.In the end, four hours and 29 minutes after Id started, I staggered (摇摇晃
6、晃地走) out of the water and was greeted with a smile and a “well done” from the race organizer.

But it didnt matter. I_wa

14、 injuries, several principles of first aid can apply to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help.

23、y.The first person to notice the problems was the English art critic, John Ruskin. He was a keen traveler who realized that most tourists make a poor job of noticing or remembering the beautiful things they see. He argued that humans have a natural tendency to respond to beauty and desire to have it
24、, but there are better and worse expressions of this desire. At worse, we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs. But, in Ruskins eyes, theres just one thing we should do attempting to draw the interesting things we see, regardless of whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.Ruskin
25、 said, “Drawing can teach us to see: to notice properly rather than gaze absentmindedly. In the process of recreating with our own hand what lies before our eyes, we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.”Ruskin de
26、plored the blindness and hurry of modern tourists, especially those who prided themselves on traveling around the whole Europe in a week by train, “No changing of places at a hundred miles an hour will make us stronger, happier, or wiser.
