on the road


This sign greeted us late last night at the Nike store -- apparently this relay is a Big Deal. There were dozens of runners waiting for the store to open this morning, teams from all over the world are here to run. Many of the people awaiting Nike's opening were dressed in team uniforms and it seemed that they took this race fairly seriously. Results are based on an honor system of self reporting individual times and adding them up for a team time, so there aren't really any official times as runners are not given a timing chip for the relay.
