The hippodrome shadow

The racer at A is running counter-clockwise around the inside of the outer purple circle, with a “shadow racer” B following behind, related by the three chords that are tangent to the inner orange circle. Does the shadow B ever catch up with A?

Colour convergence

A green line connects two points of tangency of a triangle to its incircle. A red line is the angle bisector at a vertex, and an orange line connects the midpoints of two sides. Show that the three lines are concurrent.
