Run, Tokyo, Run!
I wrote a post for Japan Pulse about running in Japan and the tech stuff runners are using. Apologies for cramming it with running puns.
Today is the Tokyo Marathon. We watched the start on TV. We heard the starting gun go off on TV and then live a few seconds later, which seems hard to believe. Could that be right, that the TV broadcast signal is faster than the speed of sound? I will ponder that over more coffee. Jim applied for the marathon but didn't get in. (He'll be running the LA marathon next month instead.) For training, he's been running rings around the Imperial Palace (shown in the Pulse post) and crisscrossing Tokyo. His favorite is a bridge run he's mapped out that goes over Rainbow Bridge to Odaiba and then across the brand new Tokyo Gate Bridge. Here are the details of the Tokyo Double Bridge run. It's supposed to be a good one, if you like that kind of thing.

maybe it depends on how far you are from the starting gun. sound still needs some time to travel : ) i dunno, that's the only explanation i have. but if it was just up the street from you... no clue.
oh look, more on that. apparently sound travels about 1 km per 3 sec. so if the beginning of the race was 1 km away, that could make sense.
ummm and the tv microphones were a lot closer?
i've posted too much on this!
