Love the idea!!
Codswallop!
How does the recovery time work between between the fast and slow finishers, is it calculated on the finishing time of the first runner, if so some people would have less of a recovery time or is the second leg a staggered start, anyway it is an interesting concept.
Seems crazy to me, but if it helps people to get into the sport, then why not?
