I don’t know about you, but I’m exhausted. Following this race is hard work. I keep hoping that if I click the GPS tracking map over and over again all day long, our team will go faster.
Anyway, Team Buff Thermo Cool has reached the halfway point of the race, where they have a mandatory six-hour rest and get a hot meal. Impressively, Sari found a computer and managed to send this message:
“Super wet and muddy everywhere. Teammates are awesome. Tired, super sore knees but otherwise all is well.”
Buff is six-hours behind the lead teams, Seagate and Silva. They are “carrying a 2-hour penalty” because apparently one teammate lost their required race jersey somewhere along the way. With the penalty time factored in, they are in ninth place overall. There is still a long way to go, including a 65km trek along the coast, followed by a 150km mountain bike leg. Team Buff is healthy and strong and they still have a great shot at the podium. Thanks for following along and supporting Sari!

How inspiring to you this team out doing their adventures and race in this great world we live in – it makes me want to keep travelling, and adventuring…
