She can't figure out how to win, and she can't accept the idea of not winning. She cannot accept that this nobody from nowhere could have beaten her, quietly and silently, every day.

I want to thank you SUBMAN1 for referencing that article. I have been searching for a plausible explanation as to why she is staying in this race. The lucidity of the above passage says it all.
