Leading the pack of jubilant runners in the customary victory lap, one member--decked out in his usual red sweat suit--suddenly sprints ahead and is the first to cross the finish line.

There's also the challenge of putting on your sneakers, heading down to the river and wondering: Can I keep up a good pace through the house courtyard until I'm out of sight? Can I avoid being mowed down by over-zealous roller skaters? And can I hit the traffic lights at the right time...
