Ben feeling lucky
Virgin airlines prior to our flight offered an impromptu craps game at the gate. Guess who won the grand prize. See other post ...
Ben's winning s
Ben was a winner before we even started the relay. He still has yet to cash in I believe.
"The nicest exchange I've ever seen"
Reporting from van 1 as we wait at exchange 12 for van 2 to finish up. We currently are in the lead by 2 minutes and 40 seconds.
L-train: thoughts on Exchange 12
Loren, a veteran relayer, just commented that this is by far the nicest relay leg he has ever seen. It's not every relay that you get to pass the relay baton beside a black bentley convertible after using the restroom at a posh Marriot hotel casino. Loren, wearing his running gear, admitted he may have received a few strange looks as he passed a few octogenarians, dressed to the nines in suits and ties listening to 1950s lounge hits.

Ragnar Las Vegas kick-off!
Apologies, this post is long overdue and quite outdated at this point, but we finally have internet connection. Someone forgot to bring his 3G-enabled Chromebook (ahem perhaps this blogger.)
We made it to Vegas! But our stay was short-lived. While most passengers on our flight booked it straight to the casinos upon touching down, Google1 had no time to party (despite "party mode" being enabled on the Google+ event we created). After picking up our two rental vans, we began the hour drive to the relay start in Lake Mead ~200 miles away from the finish near Vegas. We were warned by the van rental folks that we'll be running through a wind storm. Now as we pass struggling runners, who started earlier today, it's clear that the wind will be a force to be reckoned with.

Vegas baby!
We officially started and it is officially freezing in Reno.
Correction: apparently we were at Lake Mead and not anywhere near Reno.
Back in action
