The mountain bike leg started in the dark at 4 am, but already by 7-ish it was starting to get warm. Jotun Paints kept up a good speed and finished in 13th place after the day’s cycling , 94 km on sandy tracks. Then a quick exchange to running. By midday the temperature was 38 degrees C. The sand sucks energy out of anything and everything that tries to move across it. At the time of writing, they are still out there somewhere, probably relieved that the sun has gone down. The challenge now will be to find the six mandatory and – perhaps – four optional controls in the dark.
