The law of multiplication dictates that 34 teams with seven athletes each equals 238 participants. As the gun sounds, the herd speeds toward the footbridge only 300 meters into the course. The top guys fight to the front in order to avoid the bottle neck which is sure to occur as the main body is funneled between the bridge rails.
