The race is on!

We gave co-captain Mark Clear (aka Sky King) and the 30+ others in the 9:30 wave a rousing cheer as they set off from the hotel parking lot for their run across Madison. (The staggered starts began at 7AM and will continue well into the afternoon when the fastest teams will leave Madison. The idea is for all of us to reach Chicago at the same time. That'll work if all of our pace predictions come true.)
