The Ekiden is a great race. I ran for "Team American DoD Contractors" at the Mitsubishi Ship Yards Ekiden in 1995 and 1996, when I was in middle school. It was loads of fun and I carried the team to an amazing 80-something finish. It was the first time the American contingent had finished in the top 100 in this race.
This was a funny comment from the linked post:
"Even with the size of the event cut in half, only Japan fielded an A-class team despite Kenya having aces such as Martin Mathathi, Mekubo Mogusu and Ngatuny Gideon, all of whom ran Chiba last year, residing in Japan."
So a 13:33 is a paltry performance? With USA finishing 3 minutes back from the leader?
