What an exciting race, juxtaposed with history. My husband's been watching women's basketball, and it amazes me how often they are injured and just get up and keep going. My question is how do they do it? How can Brenda run on a sprained ankle? And run that well? I love hearing about strong women! It makes me stop whinging and pick myself up to try try again. Thanks for narrating this so well. And congratulations to all!

Thanks, Kirie! A lot of it is adrenaline. It temporarily masks the pain and severity of the injury. I guess it’s part of the body’s natural mechanism to help us escape danger.

Your kind words on the narration mean a lot.

Your writing definitely captured the effort and excitement; thank you. It felt like I was there with the “gals.”
