It's interesting how priorities change on this race. It's no longer important how long it's going to take rather, how am I going to finish. We have opted to take the unofficial route to get to Romansfontein today. We will have a time penalty tomorrow but we just needed to get to an official support station to try and recover.
After spending last night out in the cold with very little sleep, we were unable to make logical decisions. Another one of our group has withdrawn from the race after last night.
After some strategy planning later we will decide on the way forward.

Fi and her smoked oysters – she was really looking forward to these. She also needs lots of positive thoughts please.
