See, this is what Kiba liked about Adela. She was so quick to react, and even quicker to scramble to the finish line (figurative or not), especially when there was competition. Just like Kiba himself.

Her only downfall was so willingly going against someone like Kiba, who had spent all of his life entering into mini-races with his clan-mates.. Years and years of trying to beat the speed of his mother and sister while dodging their blocks had equipped Kiba with an almost perfect alertness that meant Adela was next to no match for him, and soon they were head to head, with only a short way left till their goal!
