He caught the important part and seemed to take up the challenge, thank god. She needed this race and the familiar thrum of competition set her blood to rushing. She pushed herself faster and sprinted recklessly as soon as she was able to, but the instant she saw him overtake her, she grinned with a gleam. It wasn't likely she'd be able to win this but it didn't mean she wasn't going to try like hell.

The slope, and her previous climb, had exhausted most of her reserves though. Combine that with the fact that she had one leg doing most of the work and Bronco likely had this in the bag. She would be miffed at losing, maybe, but really the winning was having a reason to drive herself further in the first place. That and, for a few moments, a reason to forget everything in favor of the race in front of her.
