Just ignore her

Afraid to lose momentum, you continue to sprint, your lungs at their very limit. And luckily, as she jumps up in the air in an attempt to knock you off your feet, she misses, and you are able to run past her.

You continue to run, your strong legs enabling you to get to he first place and keep it that way. You receive a couple more shocks trying to snap you out of your glorious pace, but you are able to come through. And you finish the race as the first one, Rita leading you away with a smile as you both know what's going to happen next.
