The moment the event begins, Ami ends up separated from the rest of her team after the staff enforces a gap between them. As a result, Ami overexerts herself in order to catch up with the others, who advise her to rest and pace herself more. After charging up on energy food at the first aid station, Ami becomes motivated by the different kinds of food offered at the other aid stations ahead. After reaching the halfway point and beginning their return journey downhill, the team learn they are running close to their time limit because of all of their food stops.
