36hrs of fun in the sun.

SleepMonsters Aus / 15.04.2007

In brief, perfect conditions, a pitch black start at midnight had teams navigating under the Milky Way, no moon, an awesome site.

Day break had the team at TA 4, and then rolling back out of TA 7 in the late afternoon or evening to be greeted by an epic bike leg up and over the plateau behind the coast before cruising back 37km down the Shoalhaven river to the finish.

Team Pb sports rolled in shortly after daybreak and then had to play the waiting game to see who would make it in before the cut-off, having opted to do only the bike leg at TA 7 (at 3pm the day before) for fear of not making the finish in time. In the end 3 teams that did the run and bike legs around Swan lake made it home in the end in some cases by mere minutes.

As the day wore on Assorti Outdoors claimed first place in 34hrs 50 mins with Team FWT in 35hrs 40mins and Team Mandatory Exhaustion rounded out the 3 in 34hrs 53 mins, but having got all but 1 CP in the advanced course finished ahead of Pb Sports.

Well done all, we will have more news and a more extensive report soon.
