0600 - Afriski Lodge, Lesotho. Team Powerade with Ryno, Arrie and Susan. 2nd place, about 1h20 behind DueSouth. Struggled up first hill (nausea) to CP1 outside Lodge. Then 49km trek to Katse Dam, arriving just 1min behind DueSouth. On the water first, but got passed and came off 3 mins behind. Then 77km mtb from hell back to Afriski. Arries hub started freewheeling at the 4km mark and didn't recover, meaning a 70km push-bike to the finish. Terrain was also horrendous due to recent flooding. DueSouth also had a poor race with three of them blown at various stages. My ITB was manageable, not too bad considering the severe gradients and distance. Should be fine in a few more days. Felt tired at the end of the foot, but paddled well and was fairly strong on the bike. Bike info: Tm 10:08:58, Dst 77.22, Avs 7.6, Mx 45.8
