Baise Outdoor Quest
Thule Adventure Win Stage 1
Martin Flinta/Fredrik Ölmqvist (Thule Adventure Team) / 26.04.2013
International Thule Adventure Team (Swedish/French/NZL) wins the short first stage, 8 minutes before Team FJS (Swe) and 14 minutes ahead of Team Moxie Gear (Aus).
The Baise Outdoor Quest, held in Baise, Guangxi, South China, started Friday April 26th with a prologue: 3K running in stairs with 200m positive climb + 70 minutes MTB + 70 minutes running (including 3K cave running) + 2 rope sections (abseil with via ferrata & river crossing).
– It went well today and me managed to win the first stage, said Thule’s team captain Martin Flinta. We were in the front of the pack and had a great teamwork all day. Team FJS (Parachute Ranger School) were as close as 15 seconds behind us during the bike section when we had to stop and tighten a saddle. But during the last trail running section we widened the gap with a few minutes. For the last 3 Km technical caving section we chosed to bring heavier and stronger headlamps, which helped us keeping up the speed.
