After more than seven full days, only 5 teams (four mixed and one all-male) have finished.
A couple more should make it overnight, while we're still waiting for Team Nga Rakau and Macpac Girls on Top. Nga Rakau look to be having a few issues in the middle section of the final trek, they've looped around a couple of spots, presumably looking for controls.
We just spoke to the Girls on Top from the transition at the top of Lake Tinaroo where they are about to head out on the short paddle before the final trek. They're all still in great spirits, and we'll be looking forward to seeing them before the race ends at 6pm on Friday !
(No update on Brent's ankle at this stage, as he's down the coast a bit with the rest of Orion and alpineepic at a boatwarming for Anna (Berthelsen) and Rob's new boat !!)

Good morning Annie.
Love your blogs, though can I have more of them please, the suspense is killing me. This race (well watching it from home) is edge of your seat stuff.
Can't wait to hear news of Lou and the boys from Nga Rakau popping out from the undergrowth.
It has been a truely epic race, with some 700+km of blood, sweat and tears.

(PS - are you catching a ride back from the airport on Sunday as well?)
Yes please ! (the ride that is).
Looks like they've just got to make the turn to cut through the bush ... which should put them on the edge of suburbia. Then straightforward to the finish. Bring it on!!
