Slow ride

I don't want to say that watching the men's 10,000 meters is boring, but it's a long day at the Oval Lingotto for anyone.

Since they started the racing about two hours ago, I've had time to celebrate the men's curling bronze, check out if there were tickets left for the World Curling Championships in Lowell the first week of April (yes, good seats available), go to the nearby mall, pick up laundry and still be back in time to watch Chad Hedrick's race.

It takes the racers about 13 minutes to cover the 10,000 meters. Luckily it's only a field of 16.
