Harriet has prepared for the day by completing many training runs, but her heart is racing at the start of the competition, even though it is a sunny day and the conditions are perfect. As she moves through the course, she finds herself stopping at many of the water stations to satisfy her thirst. By mile 15, her legs start to burn but she continues and ultimately completes the race. Explain how the following concepts relate to Harriet and running marathons.
