While Seagate (New Zealand) and Haglofs Silva (Sweden) спят после финиша в теплых постелях в  Port Edward Holiday Resort этой ночью,  the rest of the Expedition Africa field are working their way to the kayak put-in (T4),

the mid-field transition (T5), the one at the end of the hike (T6) and the finish. Team Anger Management only got out of the canyon, ending the first hike, hours after Seagate completed the entire course!

 

There are still 38 teams out there.

I don't yet have a video link for Day 4 from Steven Freitag. I'll link to
it on Facebook when I receive it.

I'm playing around CP22 in the morning and then probably moving towards T6
to catch teams there. I'm hoping to see some teams tomorrow that I haven't
seen at all this race.

 

Night-night.

18-00 состояние дел команд.

Команда Seagate  финишировала. Сильва идет по завершающему велоэтапу на уверенном втором месте, Tecnu проигрывает им километров 40. За четвертое место борются команды 39,16 и 12 которые прошли ТЗ 6 практически без отдыха. Arverne Outdoor #19 и Olympus #4 заканчивают трекинг. Наши - nonamesport.ru #27 постепенно поднимаются выше и выше по протоколу и сейчас идут на 9 позиции. Впереди у наших ребят два этапа - трекинг, который занял у победителей 11 часов, и 20-ти часовой велоэтап.

Карта расположения команд

Please excuse my brevity. It's almost 03h30. I really need to get some
sleep. Lots of action today.

Seagate are on finay cycle leg. Could be finished by noon on Wednesday.
Tecnu and Silva are not far from them but Seagate has rested more and
should progress better on this 230km cycle leg. But nothing in this sport
is ever guaranteed.
