fifteen-hundred meters as fast as you can

Actually most of the footage from this video was shot last summer at my apartment in Amsterdam and in November when Mark paid a visit to DC to hang out for a few days. Mark and I are both entrepreneurs at heart and in the time I have spent with him we have had some amazing, although sometimes heated, discussions of sport, business, and the business of sport. Some say Mark has stepped on a lot of toes over the course of the past few years but he has always been a champion for the athletes and really wants to see the sport grow in popularity. Some fault him for trying to make money, but what successful entrepreneur never had that in the back of their mind. Again, what exactly is the problem with trying to make money from a venture you began in a white van? Profit has a funny way of making the cream rise to the top and it is a great long term indicator of things that will ultimately be successful and worth pursuing. I can tell you that in the time I have spent with Mark, the sport and the athletes have always been more important than the money making. If it was ever the other way around then Flotrack would ultimately fail because there would be no one there to champion for the endeavor and the credibility to its viewers would be compromised and then any thoughts of turning a profit would cease to exist.
