Determination
Do you think you have determination? Before you answer, watch this video. It's a video of the finish line at a girls high school cross country race. It's an old video that first made it's way around the web at the beginning of November.
Here's the story. From The Big Lead:This is rather tremendous, and the unidentified girl may have a chance to enjoy 15 minutes of fame once her name becomes public: at about the (5:34) 1:39 mark of this clip, you’ll notice a blonde Berkshire (Ohio) high school runner approaching the finish line at the State cross country meet recently. She takes a bad step and, according to the person who sent us this clip, broke her tibia and fibula. She crumbles to a heap on the ground, crawls for a bit and then pops back up in an attempt to reach the finish line. Only she collapses again (that fall is particularly cringe-worthy). At this point, she decides to crawl on her hands and knees for about the final eight yards to the finish line. Spectacular work, unidentified female.
Keep watching as the dude in the yellow hat comes over to her and helps her to her feet, watch as she tries to put her weight on her leg. Then watch her foot dangle like a useless piece of flesh when he carries her off the screen.
I ask again, How much determination do you have? I'll save you the time and the realization that this woman is more man that you, and tell you that you don't.
UPDATE: READ THIS Bitches! Here's the whole back story from ESPN You'll start to feel better.
