Nov 21		ARWC wrap up. The race started with a 4 hours running in the sand dunes. Luckily for the teams the start was in the afternoon and the sun was heading down. The Explore started great and was up in the head group during the running and came in on a third place just together with the other teams in the lead. A fast transition and the team paddled away out in the dark in big waves. The team running down the huge sanddunes Photo: Helena Lindnord After the night paddling the team reached TA and changed for a biking leg, the section was going to be very sandy so the teams headed out with gaiters on and still the team was in strong mode. The biking took the teams trough small villages and when night set in the team reached TA at the church. There the team had to make a bit slower change when Viktoria had problems to keep food and liquid. But after eating and slowly drinking the team set off again. On this stage the team made some mistakes when they didn´t find one of the CP and lost around 4 hours seaching… so the team lost places, but very near the other teams with about 6 team within an hour. The team out on a trekking section in the middle of the race Then out on a biking again during daytime and a very hot one again, and the team gained time against the team infront. Then followed a trekking and a biking and then a kayaking. During the kayaking Viktoria became really sick and after hours and hours of not beeing able to keep anything in her stomage the team took the decision to call for help. Viktoria did a great effort trying to keep on going but a least it became impossible. The team withdrawln only 7 hours from the finish and was at that time the best place Scandinavian team.
