    Who were the leaders?

    Do you have a breakdown of top 5 teams at this point???



    I was running leg one for Peter O Farrel's Rathfarnham team myself, cracking day out there.

    I was the guy lying on the ground taking pics, Peter flew leg 2 and had built up a 12 min lead, by the time your team got to Oldbridge(start of leg 4) you were leading still by 11 mins.
    I have recieved a text to say that the leading team has got lost, not too sure if its your team or how accurate it is.
    I reckon my pics will be up in the next 30 mins.

    Looks like BOARDS have the WWR title unless they have a navigation disaster of a ninja resembling TheRoadRunner springs a surprise attack en route :D

    Thanks but i doubt you will see me on the hills until this time next year. I'll have to double my efforts and try to get a team to wrestle the WWR title from you guys :) well done to you all again.

    It was a great day. Both teams performed very well. I'm very happy for the B team to roll in seventh and of course it was a great victory for the A guys. Quite a comprehensive win - 10mins.

    Thanks to donothop for organising everything. Looking forwaqrd to next year already. Boards B werent far off 5th place if a few things had worked out differently.

    Two top 5 finishes next year would be VERY impressive.
