You seem like an intelligent guy on the "math" subject.

I used to run. Long distance. It was only later in life I found out why I was a winner. My lungs are way outsized from normal. In a medical test for a job I got called back three times to have my lungs X rayed. I used to smoke tobacco so I was scared that they found lung cancer. It turned out in the end it was because they could not fit my lungs on a standard X ray.

It took me a while to win at running. One thing I can say is the worst place in a race is being second. Last place is bad but that is usually a clarification exercise. Being second is worst place I think. Being third is OK, you get an idea, sure you lost, but maybe you can be a winner. Being second is you tried but lost. Then I started winning. First place all the time. I never looked back.

I beat the womens mile record easily in 1973. Now it is not such an easy target.
