Day 3: DART-nuun/NW Kayaks are hungry for the win
Jacqueline Windh / 27.03.2008
Day 3, 4:00 pmThe competition is fierce between the two DART teams – they are good friends and training buddies, but today they are each other’s fiercest rivals.
DART-nuun/NW Kayaks (Glenn, Mari and Sean) are still holding the lead that they took with last night’s ace navigation move, but DART-nuun (Cyril, Jen and Rinn) are closing in. Finishing the bike section at TA5, the time difference between the two teams was four hours – by the end of the trek at TA6 DART-nuun had closed the gap to two hours.
Here at TA7, a lovely river valley surrounded by rolling hills carpeted with wildflowers, DART-nuun/NW Kayaks have been and gone. We knew that they were tired, and were expecting them in about now (4pm), but they aced this section in just over 5 hours, arriving at 2:45.
They looked good (tired of course, but you knew that already), and their talk was only about how to keep their lead. “My feet are raw,� said Mari as she changed her shoes.See All Event Posts
