Episode Notes
My fun solution to “the problem of track and field” if there is one.
Post-recording thoughts:
Points should also be awarded to a runner for leading (per lap).
Alternatively, we eliminate points altogether, and do something like tennis does, best of 5 sets (races). Might not be spectator friendly, but watching the same field go at it (and using different tactics) 5 days in a row on TV would be interesting. Kinda what happens at the Olympics where drama unfolds over an entire week.
