Last weekend Angela participated in a mountain bike race. The graph represents her distance from the finish line based on the amount of time that had passed.
Write a possible description of Angela's race.
A graph is shown. The horizontal axis is labeled as Time and the vertical axis is labeled as Distance from Finish Line in kilometers. A line starts from a point on the vertical axis, goes down, follows a straight line path, then becomes parallel to the horizontal axis for some time then again goes down.

Angela's mountain bike race started at the point where the line intersects with the vertical axis. Initially, she made good progress as she descended the mountain and covered a good distance in a short amount of time. However, as the race progressed, she encountered more difficult terrain and slower speed zones, causing her progress to slow down. There were times when she was able to make up some lost distance, but overall, Angela maintained a steady pace as she made her way towards the finish line. Despite facing several challenging obstacles, she finished the race strong and crossed the finish line with a respectable time.
