Day 1: Prologue to Disaster?
Oh, today was fun. Started with us realizing that San Francisco in February is cold. Bloody cold. Cold like your fingers go numb.
Then the race started. No live video. OK, we can live with that - didn't expect to deliver live video to the internet on the first day anyway. A few minutes later, though, we had no internet. You ever try to do a webcast without internet access?
Joy.
Tracy was on the phone to the office calling in play-by-play while I tried to get photos live. The radios kept failing so the play by play calls we got sounded more like "Landis if monetery past" than "Landis is pedaling fast".
But, we've had beer. And now we're OK. And tomorrow will go better, right?
