On track, they're taken in one's stride (7)
I believe the answer is:
hurdles
This could be a double definition.
'on track' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'taken in one's stride' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'they're' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hurdles that I've seen before include "Fences" , "Race with jumping" .)
