The video will not do this experience enough justice but hopefully it gives a little insight as to what our cab ride was like. After we explored some of rome, this Italian taxi driver drove us back to the hotel and he was the CRAZIEST driver I've ever seen.....and if you know me and my driving history, thats saying a lot. He was running red lights, pulling u-turns, speeding and slamming on breaks, on the phone, picking his nose, swearing at people. Just ridiculous. All along Dorian Ulrey and Maggie Vessey are wondering if they will get back to the hotel alive to be able to run their races tomorrow!
Dorian runs the 1500 where he needs to get the 'A' standard of 3:36.2 so he can go to the World Championships in Berlin. Maggie runs the 800 and still has a shot to go to Worlds (she finished 4th at USAs but as of now Phoebe Wright does not have the standard).
