It's official. I am going to write to the government of Taiwan to ask them a few things. Firstly, I am wondering if it is possible for them to change their name to Tai-win. Secondly, their capital city, Taipei -- that should be changed too. Tai-"I will out pace all of you" would work better at this point. I just logged on the website to check out the average race times for 17 out of 25 cities that have already completed the race and Taipei just logged an average race time of 46 minutes and 15 seconds.the average! That's how long it is going to take me to get to the first water station.

OMG Mexico City just posted a 55:22.

I'm getting nervous Vancouver. It's time to drink some espresso and get ready to run. Make that, sprint!
