Well the team's defence of their World Championship title is under way just outside Lisbon, Portugal, with the race prologue having been completed. The team are resting now for a restart of the remainder of the 900+ km course at 8am local time (9pm in NZ).
Brent's dad Roy and Karyn Burns (whose partner Neil is racing in NZ team Nga Rakau) are crewing for Orionhealth.com for what looks likely to be an epic race. Karefn is going to send back reports as often as she can for posting on the team's Blog page so keep an eye on that for "on the ground up to date" accurate information about how the team is doing as the race progresses. The first messages from Karyn will be up there shortly.
The official race website is http://www.arwc2009.com/en/ with race reports being posted on the usual other sites: http://www.sleepmonsters.com/racereport.php?race_id=7511 and http://www.sportzhub.com/site/
Annie (Mark from Nga Rakau's partner) is also supporting out on the course and if she's able to get enough internet access will no doubt be keeping an excellent blog on the race updated: http://www.kiwixpdportugal.blogspot.com/
You can leave messages for the team on the race website which are apparently going to be delivered to them - so feel free to send them lots of "go fast" messages!
