"Wow, I am so glad that I don't have to run." Ari whistled as he stared at the people positioning themselves on the track.
"…don't you run daily anyway? Exactly 5km and not a meter more." Jamie looked at Ari before excitedly waving the cheerleading pom poms at his team members.
"That running is part of my daily exercise checklist, this just looks like punishment with extra steps. I want no parts in it."
"I think it looks fun! It reminds me of the games they play at the county fairs each summer! Or on easter! We should go one day. The one in Tennessee is so fun!"
"Hmmm. I'll think about it."
The previously empty track was now filled with hurdles and obstacles, while the contestants participating received a quick briefing on what to expect.
The first 100 meters had screaming rubber chickens that had to be attached to the contestants' feet while they balanced an egg on a spoon.
