I participated in a 1500 m run during my school time (over 10 year ago). We need to run about 4 round the tracks, after the 2nd round the top 2 winners were clear as they are leading the rest for more than 200m, I was within the others who were lagging behind.
At the last round, I started splinting to catch up with the front 2 runners. At 150m from the finishing line, the audience started cheering and screaming because I converted a long distance race to a 100m dash. The to-be-winner positions are threaten by my aggressive pursue.
When I crossed the finishing line along with the one of the to-be-winner. The first runner up and second runner up places were unclear. When the results was out, I was in the second place. Cheers from the crowds was much louder than the champion. And I received a hand-shake from the 2nd runner up (he did not hand-shake the champion). It was a hand-shake of respect to each other.
Morale of the story: goal is only the guide, it is the process that generate the ultimate winner.
