Deafening Silence ...

So it's been about 8 hours since the last update I've found which said that 2 teams had finished the split leg and 7 teams were presently on it. That would have been about 2am in the morning - race time. Figured the organisers / media team had gone to sleep and we'd hear again in the morning. So it's now about 10am, bearing in mind it is Spain so that's like 6am in any other country. Now 25 hours into the race.

From the split leg they were onto a 49km MTB leg that finished 1000m lower than it started but the organisers predicted 4 hours for the fastest teams. There must be either a heap of climbing in there as well or really bad trails. From there it was Stage 7 Kayak then stage 8 trekking / roping section. With no leg distances or times your guesses are as good as mine for what discipline they're on at the moment, where they're headed, what place they're in ... etc.

Since there's no race news to mention how about a shout out to their main sponsor Blackheart. Check out the adventure gear in their on-line shop at http://www.blackheart.com.au/ for great discounts.
