Here's a quick update from the BendRacing/4HourFuel 24/7 analysis &Cheer squad on what's been happening with our team and others these past couple of hours.
In shorts. It's been a very interesting race to watch unfold. And we have not been quite able to figure out our teams tactic. They seem to be taking more rest and time in TAs but then catch up pretty quickly so we are thinking this is their strategy and the best way they can race strong, with focus and have some fun which were their stated goals.
From one of our main analyzers - Jerome G-D (who recently won Wilderness Traverse- whom Alexandre Provost , Karine Corbeil, Arnaud Côté Boisvert and won last year.
"Storms came over the island. The Paddle got cut, all teams called ashore. And the rope sections got cancelled. Wet, slippery and whiteout conditions up in the alpine. Only 6 teams made it through the ropes. I think Absolu Raid ( #20) and Tactical foodpack ( #8) did only partial ropes (they did not track to K23).
BR around 8-10th place. Still to be clarified because of cut ropes sections. However- appear to move strong and steady. They have slightly longer CP/TA times than others since leaving on this trek. But they do catch up to people as soon as they move. Which does looks like it is their strategy.
As I am writing this the team is standing on top of Monte Cinto, the highest peak of Corsica 🙌🏼
Enjoy those views team and keep fueled with 4 Hour Fuel and keep taking care of one another -long ways to go yet!!
