This race is a big committment, and we've lost a couple racers along the way. Mel's work got in the way (it's audit time!) and Hai's work and (serious) play got in the way. But fortunately, we have gained two new racers, which is great. So now racing are Paul, me (Tracy), Lucy, and Glenn (see photo at left). Support will include Elfreida and Darrel, and Blake and Hai. 
Today we fought the blackflies and mosquitos, and hiked from Lusk Falls, to the road at the foot of Western Hut.Total about 13km, not including the ups and downs. It took us 6.25 hrs. Rappelled down Farm rock. A little bit of bushwhacking, but mostly on trails. (Wait - did I say trails? Sorry, I meant swampy indentations in the ground. - it was wet! )
p.s. We're at 21 days to go now, three weeks. whahoo!!
