How hurdler might recover? (3,4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

get over it

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'how hurdler' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'recover?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'recover?' could be 'getover' (I've seen this before) and 'getover' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'it' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'might' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
