One kid thought he could do the long walk and win just by walking of course and by occasionally eating olives from a jar he had brought along. He thought the olives would give him super special energy. Decades later I remember that dumb detail.

I liked the story at the time and sort of broke it down into its constituent parts because it was a simple short story style model to follow for my own short stories which I used to write a lot of as a kid. This was what maybe 1988, 89?

I guess this recollection etc is evidence of my assumed 140s iq who knows.
