I got the idea for this at a recent meet and worked on it some since
With apologies to Daniel Powter:
There was the moment you needed the most
You look at the board and you see that you lost
Was all your training all in vain
should you hide your head in shame,
No, there's no need to get all down
You just had a bad race
the clock it don't lie
turn it around and kiss it good bye
learn from your mistakes then give it a try
Next time you'll be faster,
You just had a bad race
You had a bad race.
