The fence would give her the precious extra seconds she needed to get away: They were faster but she was fit. She heard a frustrated shout behind her as she forced herself to settle from a frantic dash into a measured run. Her eyes scanned the ground ahead and she adjusted each stride, her footfall missing a root here, stepping with her toes on a rock there.
