Latest update from Karyn - out on the race course
It was tight squeeze to make it to the cut off for the paddle in time but they made it!A very speedy transition and fast descent meant Orionhealth.com reached the river 10 mins before Nike and despite a swim for Anna and Stu exited 35 mins before them too.
Unfortunately a compulsory 1.5 hr wait for the crew at Assistance Area 2 (A2) after the team left and a petrol stop later meant we arrived at the checkpoint at the same time. However, a few scrambled moments ensured the pre-packed gear was "dropped" as required though it was frustrating to not actually be able to assist them in any other way.
A convenienty located lecture theatre finally allowed a 2.5 hr sleep.
We have just dropped the gear for the next rollerblade and kayak section and will hopefully get a few hours sleep ourselves.
Hopefully A3 will be a little more laidback
