The race at 9:00am

Much of the course is cleared by racers whether they're on the Expedition, Explorer or Challenge course. you can see the field is still fairly spread out, but there are definite groups of teams. Some may have been working together for a while through the night, but most won't know where any of the other racers are relative to their position. Let's hope with the morning here many will feel a little second (third? fourth? tenth?) wind and will make a good push toward the next leg of their race.
