ACP #2 Third Update

Dennis Baker / 09.11.2008

All teams have reported in to Assisted Check Point #2 (ACP #2), which is the end of the first cycling section. It rained intermittently throughout the night and the teams were struggling with the cold and exhaustion.

During the hike-a-bike section BAARBD Wire had some serious navigational problems and wound up dropping out and getting a ride into ACP #2.

Arrivals since last update:
Dirty Avocadoes - Arrived at 11:07PM
Aja from the Dirty Avocados dropped out of the race and Daniel from BAARBD wire joined the two remaining Avocados and the three continued on unscored at 12:59AM.

Sputnick also had navigational problems during the hike-a-bike section but managed to get back on course after losing some significant time. They arrived at ACP#2 at 1:55AM.

Chaos arrived last at ACP #2 at 3:40AM and dropped out of the race at that time.

• Aquan
