It is 838am in Japan and we just finished breakfest. I slept from 10pm to 3am this morning. I couldnt get back to bed after that. The 14 hour time change is a force to be reckoned with. I am not getting stressed about the lack of sleep or jetlag though. Instead, I am getting focused on the big team ping pong tournament we are having this afternoon. It will be a great way to get our minds off tomorrows race. Speaking of which; here is our team and how the legs are looking.

Leg 1: Matt Brunsting 5km (a fast downhill leg) This leg will be instense as it is very fast, and Craig Mottram is running this leg.
