Third night blues

Holy mackerel.

A race can organise wi-fi hotspots for the staff and press at transitions, but can't work out where a team is on the course. Bizarro.

When we left T9, two teams were missing - Cruachan and Ippon (who have Gill Watson and Russ Ladkin with them). Despite sat tracking, SI download and marshals at each transition, the organisation couldn't tell us even what time they left T8. We've asked for a text, but god knows whether we'll ever get it. Frustrating as hell...

So, what we DO know is this. Once they came in to T9 they had about 20km of skating, then they hit the longer paddle on the Targus, down the Portugal/Spain border. I'm sat at Assistance 3, and as soon as I hear anything, so will you.
