Still don't know whether Kobus made it to the finishing line in time on Tuesday. The results haven't been updated since 7pm Tuesday when the first 660 had completed. I believe there was a 10 hour cut-off and I've also read that the average minimum speed since 1986 is 3km/h. On Monday Kobus managed 3.51 km/h - that's 2.18 miles/hour.
Well, I've not heard anything at all today. I can only assume that he must be still in the race, otherwise he would have been able to join the queue to send an email.
The Stage 3 that started today (Wednesday) has shocked everyone by making the long stage even longer than other years - 91km (56.5 miles) with 6 checkpoints. Maybe the organisers are trying to keep the total distance 151 miles over the 5 stages instead of the originally planned 6 stages. And they say the weather is mild and the scenery astonishingly lush from all the rain. Temperature when they started at 9am was 20 degrees, rising to 29 degrees by 1pm. 13 people had dropped out by 12 noon.
