Oh nice! Your first step was the same one I tried on my first attempt, but I didn't think of the second step you made.

I forget the exact path I took, but I think I ended up at like the youth Olympics or something, before giving up and restarting because despite what I expected, there didn't seem to be any route towards the goal from there.
I was all over the place with this one. I'm still not sure how it worked out. There's one leap in there that makes no sense at all to me even though I'm the one that picked it.
