The energy of the crowd is insane. Twenty thousand people. It's the biggest jolt of adrenaline. It's very hard to explain. You know the old story about the woman lifting the car off her kid? It's in that realm. You can actually hurt yourself and not know it.
If I die a violent death as some fear and a few are plotting I know that the violence will be in the thought and the action of the assassins not in my dying.
