I enjoy the ekiden, but I never knew all this background. Nice piece!

Thanks, Jack. On the contrary, I like to read about sports more than actually watching them. The only sport I really enjoy watching now is rugby.

I only lasted one half, then I went back to sleep. It wasn't worth the effort of staying awake. The real semifinals were played in the quater-finals.

Well, I went to bed at 9pm last night in prep. I needed to see real rugby played.
