The only thing I know about the Freeze is that no one can beat the Freeze (except with a generous head start). And he's awesome. In case you haven't seen, the Freeze is this guy in a turquoise spandex suit that challenges mere mortals to a race in the outfield of the Atlanta Braves SunTrust Park between innings.

Overall, this seems like a great physics problem. It's a variation of "a train leaves from Chicago traveling at 20 mph while a train leaves from New York traveling at 40 mph—where do they meet?" OK, it's a little bit different. But the physics is the same.

If I want a physics problem, the first thing I am going to need is data. I want the position of both "the Dude" and the Freeze. Since they aren't really running in a straight line, it's not super trivial to get their position as a function of time. Instead, I am going to pick certain identifiable points along their path and record their times at those points. I can estimate the distance between points on the field using the dimensions of SunTrust Park.

The second part is to look at the video of the Freeze and the Dude to record the time that they pass these marks. Of course I will use Tracker Video Analysis—even though I'm just marking a few points this software makes it easy to keep track of the times (instead of counting video frames).

But after that, I get the following plot for the motion of the two runners.
