Day 3: DART-nuun are just as hungry as their buddies
Jacqueline Windh / 27.03.2008
Day 3, 6:00 pmDART-nuun are doing their best to catch up with the lead team DART-nuun/NW Kayaks.
“But time is running out,� Cyril noted quietly. His team made up another 30 minutes this section (20 minutes on the 60 km bike leg, and another 10 minutes by going for a super-fast transition), leaving them now only two and a half hours behind their rivals. If the course were a bit longer, they’d almost surely catch them - but there is not much course left.
“We know they haven’t slept,� added Jen. “And we have.�
Cyril was dismayed at how short this bike section was – since that is his team’s strongest discipline – and even more dismayed when he found out that the final bike section is being shortened too (because of the change in the kayak put-in due to winds).
Someone passed a message along to Jen that her mom had been asking RD Karen Lundgren how Jen was doing. “Oh, I’ve told her not to phone race directors!� she exclaimed. (Message to Mrs. Segger: Don’t worry, Jen’s looking great, smiling, eating lots!)See All Event Posts
