They say When in Rome do what the Romans do. The Romans gave encouragement to marathoners by yelling "Bravi! Bravi!" But somewhere after 12K people yelled "Bayan! Ka Bayan!" Wait! That doesn't sound like Italian at all. But I smiled anyway. Later I found out I was mistaken for a Filipino. I don't mind. I say always give anyone who take the time to cheer a stranger in a race with a big smile, a high five or a running ovation. Every cheers in any language matters. 42K can be a lonely road sometime.
