THAT is how you finish a race

initially i thought 'what a champion!' . but couldnt she have caused some permanent injuries doing that? in which case i think it wasn't very smart if it means living with a limp. cutting your own arm off when you are stuck in a canyon- now THATS intestinal fortitude...
ok, im ready to be pummelled with bricks now.
tommy:
She was so close she just had to finish. :applaud:
She might have done some extra damage after she tried to stand up again after it was broken. Ouch!!

The fact that it was not necessarily wise does not eliminate the intestinal fortitude. :)

Very true. Remember, we're all invincible at 18 years old.

Yeah . . . I feel like such a cynical meanie, but my immediate reaction was, "Wha . . . you fool, what are you doing?" That girl had warnings. The initial fracture was causing her a lot of pain and she needed to stop running on it. Then her leg snapped, and she knew it snapped, and she got back up on the leg and tried to continue running on it. Then her leg snapped again, so she just started crawling. For reference, she was not being chased by a bear at the time. There's something to be said for perspective.
