Has anyone ever done, officially or not, a reverse relay race? So, 4 x 100m (or 400m) but when you hand over the baton your teammate is going the opposite way. The relay recipients get the same ‘run up’ they’d get in the regular race, just the other way.
Is this a thing? If not, what’s stopping it being a thing? Surely not chaos, it sounds like FUN.

@SquirrelwithaninvisibleW@mastodon.social 🤣Think of the •injuries•! Baton to the face at speed. I think there’s a good line in altered events. I’d watch a triple jump where the first bit is a pole vault. Or combined steeplechase and shotput.
