Yes, spriting race was very challenging anytime we had to do it back then in school. Those of us who are selected to represent will keep training almost every day because it's the same way other teams are going with their training to make sure they have their best runner representing them to win it for them.I always see the spriting race as very challenging especially if many schools are participating then going from local to international spriting race. It could be easy in the beginning but after that you find that you have to realize a lot of things in the shortest time frame and many abandon the mission.
