Great one, set.
Time to tell the story of Pancho Campos, a member of my High School track team.
Campos was a prime class semi-fondist. He applied to use the Olympic Comittee facilities, was asked to break the Under-17 national record for the 3000 meters, and did it the same day.
To keep using the facilities, he had to win the school league race, the Mexico City race and be among the top 3 on the National Youth Championship.
On the day of the Mexico City race, the events were running a little late (OK, Mexico, I know), so Campos decided to go to the entrance door "and buy some lemons". There were no lemon vendors, there, so he went to the next door, about half a mile away.
When he came back to the stadium, sucking his lemon, the 3000 race had begun, he was out and lost his place as a user of the Olympic facilities.
Now, that's what I call a Chapultepec!
A prime lesson about the importance of mental as well as physical coordination.
