compete in the swim meets.,Swimming in Socks,Joe Posnanski,第2页,2,Elizabeth does not like swim meets.She gets horribly nervous but not because she wants to win.She doesnt want to win.She doesnt expect

flapping.,Swimming in Socks,第9页,10,Then it was time for the T-shirt relay,which works like this:One person from each relay team puts on a T-shirt,a pair of socks,and a swim cap;swims 50 meters;and gets out of the pool.She takes off the clothes and puts them on the next person,who then swims 50 meters.This continues until everyone on the team has completed a lap.,Swimming in Socks,第10页,11,For some unknown reason,Elizabeths relay team chose her to swim the anchor leg.They worked out a Cirque du Soleil move to get the T-shirt off one swimmer and onto the next one.It didnt always work,but it

sock.,第15页,16,By now,the girl in lane two was about to pass Elizabeth.With the sock finally on,Elizabeth swam her heart out for the last 15 meters.,It was close.,But Elizabeth beat the other girl to the wall for the victory.,Swimming in Socks,第16页,17,There was much celebration and joy.Hugs.High fives.Cheers.And,for a few minutes,Elizabeth was the hero.,It was completely unexpected and completely ridiculous and completely pointless.,But she was the hero.,Swimming in Socks,第17页,18,On the ride home,she,relived,her moment of glory again and again.,She talked about how scared she was when someone
