About
Stage 2
"Today’s
course was named ‘Bridges, Valleys and Mountain Views’ and the stage
offered exactly that, a diverse blend up and down hills and over two
cable bridges. The day began with a large hill that many competitors
found bracing. But despite the difficulty of the elevations, there was a
collective agreement that the stunning views made up for tricky
footwork.
...
The large
bridge two-thirds of the way through the course brought equal reactions
of excitement and trepidation. It had been thoroughly inspected by an
engineer and deemed entirely safe, but still brought an added jolt of
adrenaline into the mix.
...
There was
also the encouragement of many local children. There were close to 500 school children at the third checkpoint, cheering
on the competitors.
The
weather continued to be beautiful throughout the day, with clear blue
skies and warm racing conditions nearing 20 degrees Celsius. 192 people
crossed the finish line, and competitors are now settling into the Lundi
Shera Phant campsite and getting as much rest as possible.
About Stage 3
"...third stage sees the distance starting to increase, with a 38-kilometer
course and a significant elevation gain of 1,478 meters."
