Ira was really exhausted by the time she reached the the pole in front of her. And it was still the 14th pole only! 14 to go and 6 more to go! Merlins! Can I do this? she asked herself. But I want to win! she decided.

So, taking a deep breath, she hopped some more and huffing a little got to the 15th pole. That was good.. now 5 more! Only! It would have been better if it was a relay or just sprinting.. That would have been so much easier!
