When they say “outrun a horse”, that can be deceptive.
For short distances, human sprinters can outrun horses, because they have faster acceleration. In past this was used to win bets. Conversely, even though they have a much slower gait than horses, camels easily overcome them in races, because their gait is much larger.
Well, take good care ye-uy. Do you know, who will take your place? Perhaps a rubnik, eh, oh well, who knows- how that happens...
