Leaves in dust
Outraces means to run faster than, to defeat in a race or any contest of speed.
The word applies literally to competitions—She outraced the field to win gold—and figuratively to anything that moves or develops faster than something else: Technology outraces our ability to regulate it.
To outrace a storm, a deadline, or a pursuer is to stay ahead of it.
