Course Handout

I just spoke with the team in the North of Spain. Today they had to complete some competency checks and then got a few hours rest in between the final packing. Presently they are busy marking up maps and planning the race.

The race will start tomorrow morning with an uphill 8km Inline Skate which the team says they are looking forward to. It will be the first time they have completed this discipline during a race. After that there is an 18km off-road hilly trek then a 3 hour caving and ropes section.

Apparently the caving and ropes section will be untimed so the team will take it easy and really enjoy it. From there, it's onto the first mountain bike leg and the race begins. Kim said, the course looks really fun and interesting. The guys think that http://www.sleepmonsters.com/ should have ok coverage of the event if the event website doesn't.
