NB has won the regional iron man sprint challenge. Now he has been called to compete for the national title in an uphill sprint on gladiator hill. The winding steep hill is lined with cherry trees planted by NB idol Aaron Bolt, the first kid to ever win the gladiator cup. An old man named Mr B tells NB he will gain a burst of speed for every cherry he picks during the race. There are 150 cherry trees on the trail. Will NB pick enough cherries and win the race in 60 mins?
