Have you ever participated in a marathon? A cross-country marathon? Maybe a walk for a cause? You register for this event and arrive at the designated time and place. You greet everyone and know you belong, because you have a similar sports gear on (t-shirt, wrist band, caps etc).
You receive the road-map of the route you have to take. You have a clear view of the start and finish points on this road map. You know the distance between the points and you also know the estimated time taken to complete the race/walk.
In addition, you know the points on the road map at which you change into your cycling gear or into your swimming gear. You know where you are in the road map, because it says clearly with an “X”: “You are here”. You also know that winners are selected based on shortest time, and the rest of the crowd receives a participation/completion certificate.
