Orion at end of Stage 4

Orion arrived at 22:30 and slept for an hour while Karyn and Roy repacked their bags. They left debating whether to sleep at the start of the trek and miss the kayak (cutoff 2am) or sleep during the kayak. They left at 23:55 as Nike arrived.

Nike left with seconds to spare, loaded up with sleeping gear which they will have to carry during the trek and kayak before the start of the MTB / kayak gear pickup.

This must all be making Helly Hansen's position look pretty good....

Nga Rakau are now riding the roads to the TA, as any controls punched after the midnight cutoff don't count.

  1. Thanks for keeping these updates coming Annie ... you're making such a difference to helping understand what's going on.

    Give Mark, Fi, Tim and Neil a great big cheer from me ... they're doing really well and being very smart racing within their capacity! There are plenty of teams coming unstuck now from being a bit too ambitious!

    :o)

    Hope you're holding up okay ... sounds like there's been plenty for support crews to do so I'm sure that you're all feeling it a bit now too!

    Cheers

    Lynne
