I adjusted my stride, taking longer ones as I ran up the hill, climbing as quickly as I could to reach the top, to see the marker, to continue on with the race.
"No fair!" A young man behind me called. "We can't have girls running in this race! You should quit now."
I glowered at him, wishing I could punch him. Girls could do whatever they wanted thank you very much. "Not going to." I said, shortly before taking off at a dead run down the hill. I would make sure to beat him. There would be no way now he'd catch me.
