CVTR Dirt Series - The Twin Paradox Run
* I started writing this article right after the race ended and then got busy with moving. Just had time to finish the article 2 weeks later*
The Twin Paradox Run was the third race in the CVTR Dirt Series. Because the race director was a scientist, the race theme was also about science. I was afraid that we would be asked to do some kind of calculation to get an extra point. Luckily, we did not have to.
The race was a relay run. Runners were divided into two groups - fast or slow. You would be paired up with another person who was either faster or slower than you depending on which group you were in. The slower group received a ping-pong ball (called "the particle"). The race was a loop. The fast group and slow group started at the same point but had to run in different directions (clockwise or counter clockwise). Eventually. both runners would meet at some point in the loop and the slow runner had to hand the "particle" to the fast runner from their team. After handing out the particle, each runner turned around and ran back to the starting point. Whoever got to the starting point first had to wait until the partner arrived and ran to the finish line at the same time.
It's a fun race that encouraged the importance of teamwork.
