How does Patina feel as she runs the last 100 meters of the relay?

When Patina starts running the last 100 meters of the relay, she feels so much pain. She tells herself that the pain is nothing and she is strong enough because she has her mother's legs. She is neck and neck with the other girls as they fight to the end with their batons in their hands. Patina's hear pounds and her beads click in time with her steps.
