Adrenaline is a heck of a drug. People will fall off of a 50ft+ building and try to get up and walk it off. In fact one case there was a man who fell off of a building like 300ft high if I’m not mistaken, and even after having multiple bones and damage to his spinal cord he attempted to get up.

This contrasts with other people I know who fell and quit or gave up after their teammate passed them. They couldn't emotionally handle not being first on the team so they'd quit the race and cost the team points.

Nah, that's what Goggins says when put locks on their potential, and give up at 40%. The sad thing is, if she never was tripped, she would have never used that full speed. And she's probably even faster than that, but didn't have to use it. Also, every girl there probably could have similarly ran faster, but didn't flip that switch. Only she did. So she basically was running on an entirely different kind of fuel, even though everyone else could have done the same.

The human body is incredible. She must've tapped into her adrenaline supply or went into some mindset the other runners couldn't even imagine.
