We were staying in the cheap hotel, the All Star Sports place, and it looks like everyone else was, too. The race was scheduled to start at 6am, and buses were to take us to the staging zone starting at 3am with the last bus at 4am. Like everyone else, we waited until 3:30am to go down. When we got there, the line went down and around the corner. I had to go back to the room to get my camera and when I got back, the line was down around the corner, doubled back, and then back again. There was a LOT of people.
