Airplanes don't have brakes, so you can't stop and let one go in front of the other. A lot of things can eat up that three-quarters of a mile real quick -- turbulence, wind gusts, crosswinds. |
It's nice to win the first one. It really helps as we increase the intensity of our workouts. |
Usually it's not a big 'deal' because you've got airplanes that are 2.7 miles apart [instead of the minimum 3 miles]. |
