At DLV we had monthly Pursuit Nights where we did pairs of pursuits. The track is 327M long. Randomly a young guy (21?) was matched up with an older guy (50?) in a 3K. I watched as the young guy launched off from the start super fast to try to catch the old guy within a few laps for the win. The young guy died a horrible death on the bike. Afterwards I asked him about it. He was like, "I thought...I thought I could do it."
