Nesrin keeps up her pace through the forest, appreciating the shade they didn't have for such races on the plains. She's pretty sure her height gives her an advantage, leaping to the ropes, because the obstacle seems to barely slow her. Wyn isn't so lucky though.
Rounding another turn, she glances back and sees that he's still not in sight, and her joyous run slows. "C'mon, you know it doesn't really matter who's first to the end. Bushido demands Compassion not Competition." Swinging her way around a sapling to reverse course, she speeds back to stop at the edge of the mud and offer a hand to her bedraggled competitor. "Don't slow down for these, you need all the momentum you can get, neh?"
It costs her some time, and she reaches the next obstacle and the finish line after the Miya has passed them. But, after her embarrassment at the wall in training, her determination alone is almost enough to clear this one. Anyone watching might swear she'd simply leapt over it.
Skidding to the finish, she pauses, hands on her knees, huffing to catch her breath. "Good run!"
