I find I have a little more, I don't know, incentive? Drive? Determination? On the track, just because I can push myself and say "alright, just to the end of this lap" rather than "alright, just until this number on the screen changes to 4". But to each their own.  And free passes to the track? That's bullshit. Hang on while I go put 200 pounds on, maybe then I'll get pity handouts too.
