Dot Watching - Stretching Out - Trek 1 / Bike 1

As the race progresses, teams start to spread further and further along the course - different speeds, route choices and other factors create a dynamic field across front, mid and back of pack racers.

As we approach 4 hrs of racing, we have most teams trekking their way towards TA1 looking forward to a change of activity, and some lead teams now on bike and on their way up to TA2 to start their paddle. A gap has started to form between current teams leading the pack and the large collection of teams hoping to close a bit of that gap and duking it out for places in at this still early stage of the race!

Dot watching will start to get more exciting as 'mini-races' amongst and within the different areas of the race start to take shape. Stay tuned for leaders of the pack, mid-pack updates, lanterne rouge (which gets started this evening), all-female teams, and more updates from across the board!
