just like that they are out on the 16th yard.

the young polish runner, patryk swietochowski seems to be struggling.

he is coming in late

which means less rest

which means less recovery

which means…

.

it is called the death spiral.

the end is closing in on him unless he can find a way to escape the whirlpool.

it can be done

but very few succeed.

he has to find the strength to put in a fast lap

and buy some time to rest.

.

and all anyone can really do is watch and offer encouragement.

.

another dream may soon die.
