Team Blackheart finishes 5th

Hi guys,
its Rob checking back in touch after a few good days recovering in New York with my Uncle Pete and Aunt Gail.

Thanks to Dave for attempting to keep the blog updated. I know it must be frustrating for everyone at home when the race coverage is so bad. I'm pretty confident the World Champs in Portugal later this year will have a good online presence, and my parents Robert and Julia will be on ground to keep everyone updated.

The Bimbache Extrem was a great experience. I don't think any of us expected the course and location to be so good. The caving/canyoning was certainly a highlight for us all, and hopefully some of the video I took with the waterproof Sanyo will turn out ok. There was plenty of tough trekking out there, probably not our strength but we gave it a good shot. The competition was super tough like we expected, and it will only be harder at the World Champs in November.

Here are some of our photos before and during the race, and some from the official photographers.

Stay tuned for Damon's full race report.
