There were a few things in the team lineup that seemed a little questionable, but it's easy to be an armchair quarterback. Sakai was in a tough position with Kashiwabara's departure and Toyo still did well. 2nd over Komazawa, Brett Larnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13416317533206849280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506887802174553845.post-16417690757526876072013-01-03T23:25:31.423+09:002013-01-03T23:25:31.423+09:00Brett - Is there any online link where i can watch...Brett - Is there any online link where i can watch a replay of the Ekiden?<br /><br />Cheers<br />MaheshAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00523781310568743289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506887802174553845.post-38747613099430471252013-01-03T21:18:56.513+09:002013-01-03T21:18:56.513+09:00Good point in the comment above.

They knew they were going to be running into the wind, why weren't they wearing them? I frequently run into the wind (Tokyo is damn windy) and I find that it is much easier to run with sunglasses on.
