In the first couple of Races (of the American version), they didn't do anything to bunch up the teams, and it became a production nightmare. It also removed any suspense from the race.
In the first race, the first two teams were on the mat in NYC when the third place team was still in Alaska, a full leg behind.
You basically have to look at it as 12 separate races, where the winner gets a prize and the last team gets eliminated (usually).
