We're the only "animal" that collects water to consume later and doesn't need to stop to drink.
I think that's a major factor in endurance hunting - we can replenish hydration lost by sweat whereas others cannot.

We don't beat them out necessarily because we can replenish more, but because we are much more efficient at cooling ourselves. Obviously water and tools helped us, but imagine trying to compete in a 5k wearing a rubber suit--you wouldn't come close to competing with those humans you're up against.
