Ho Hum

Well the first 20 or so hours of Geoquest went absolutely spot on according
to plan.

We hit or beat our time estimates for the first 4 legs, and were going
strongly, swapping the lead back and forth with the Mexicans. We spent most
of the 5th and 6th legs - the long tramp - with the Mexicans, and got onto
the bikes for stage 7 in the lead, at about 2230.

Unfortunately the temperature plummeted to around -2 overnight, and Peri
ended her race lying between Luke and I under emergency blankets at about
04:00 as she succumbed to hypothermia ;-(

Obviously a real shame, as we were racing strongly and looking for agood
win, but at least she's fine now and we're all fit to race again ;-)
