Looks like all is going well for the Kiwi teams midway through the prologue - Richard Usher's team were first through the 'adventure triathlon' section in downtown Abu Dhabi, with the strong French La Fuma team in hot pursuit 3 mins back. Stu and his team are 8 minutes down in a big bunch of teams, all within touch of the leaders.
Teams have now just begun the 80km sea kayak stage, which will see them bivvy on an island tonight before resuming the paddle in the morning. Expect to see things bounce around a bit on the tracking, as each tracker updates at a slightly different time, so when teams are this close together its hard to tell who is where exactly.
I am looking forward to an exciting day at 'work' with the tracker on in the background!
