Destroying my dreams in a blink of an eye

Yes, sir, in the wink of an eye.

You'd catch me and string me up in no time.

I didn't close my eyes once. I just squinted, because you could run away.

As a scientist, I always wanted to measure that resonance, that sense of the other that happens so quickly, in the blink of an eye.

There I was, in what felt like a blink of an eye later, about to push my four man sled with my team to the chance of Olympic gold, Olympic glory.
