We are getting close to the end of CP2. The numerous
bridges we're crossing are slowling us down as we can't
run on them (would be a shame to fall over isn't it?) (larger)
|
20/07/03
Fabien crossing the wooden
bridge along and 10 to 15 meters above the river. The bridge is old
and slippery. (larger)

20/07/03 Brodie jumping from the 8 meters
rock. That was the only way to go to keep going along the river treck.
(larger)
|
20/07/03
The river section is simply magic for the eyes. It is by far the
best river treck section I have ever seen in a race.
As you can see, the water is crystal clear. (larger)

Peter on the left side of the numerous waterfalls we
passed. (larger)

We are a bit late but still positive and ready to go. We have been now
racing for 8 hours and 30 minutes. (larger)
|
20/07/03
Fabien jumping from a 3 to 4 meters rock. Sometimes it
is safer to jump straight into deep (2 meters) waters
than trying to climb down slippery rocks. (larger)

10-30
The rock-climbing section consisted of a top rope
climb on natural cliff of about difficulty 8 at the
bottom to 16 at the top. The higher we manage to
climb, the more time was taken off our final time. (larger)

Speeding down the single-track hiking trail from the
top of the first mountain. After this downhill, we
have to climb another mountain to reach CP2. (larger)

Climbing the next mountain to the checkpoint.
The mountain we've just come over is in the
background. We passed 2 teams taking this trail
instead of the forestry road. (larger)

11-50
Repairing the second of two punctures that I suffered
within 10 minutes of each other. Both punctures were
from a cutting my rear tyre. (larger)

Finally heading off up the river to the next checkpoint. (larger)

top right . (larger)

We found this wire suspension bridge which made it
easier to cross the river. (larger)

The sunrise from the top of the mountain. Reveling at
finally reaching the top, we are 15 minutes away from
being told that we missed a cutoff time and the race
is over for us. (larger)

What you don't see on this picture is that it actually keeps
going up the same way after that hill. Have fun running that up!
;-) (larger)
|
19/04/03 16:20
Damn! That's the first time I see such a thing! My tube poped
out of tire while going downhill on the way back. Brodie and I
are amazed the thing didn't blow up. (larger

Made it to the top of the hill, it's mostly downhill from here. (larger)
|
25/01/03 12:22
The air was so clean that from the mountains we could count the buildings
in the middle of Tokyo. It was actually clearer than this photo makes it
seem. (larger)
