I am disappointed. Based upon this thread's subject, I thought it was going to be about the "Lake Biwa officials." They just don't receive enough publicity! ;-) |

That's true. They are unsung heroes :) |

Why would you think it might be about multiple officials? |

Tergat just off the lead, a few other Africans up front and a Japanese guy at the lead. |

Ok, I was wondering about the graphic. The clock/odometer showed what I posted but then they flashed a 3:02 2nd Km graphic at the bottom. Odometer must be on the truck and not tied to the lead runner. |
