Now that I'm not at the race, I battle to keep track of what discipline they're doing and which CPs are transitions. I don't have a sheet detailing this but I have figured out the following from the notes that I received pre-race. This may help you following on the tracking system.
CYCLE - from Thomas River (CP14) to Wriggleswade Dam (CP22)
PADDLE - on Wriggleswade Dam and collect CPs, return to boat house
CYCLE to Clifton Grange Hunting Lodge (CP25) via CPs 23 and 24.
HIKE (45km) from CP25, jumar at CP28 and finish hike at CP30 (Mpotshane Lodge)
CYCLE from CP30 to Mazeppa Bay (CP34) via CPs 31 (Qolora Trading Store), 32 (Ncerana Trading Store) and 33 (low level bridge).
HIKE along the coast, heading South, collecting CP35 on the Jacaranda Wreck (the ship was wrecked in 1971) and finish hike at the Seagull's Hotel (CP36)
CYCLE inland to CP37 (The Gates; have to swim to get the CP - difficult navigation to here), CP38 (Gxara Falls - rope work here too), CP39 (swim across Kei river with bikes to te umThombe Kei River Lodge), CP40 (Kei River mouth; CP past big cross on sand dune), CP41 (Morgan's Bay - tricky location), CP42 (CP at Ninky Noo's pub in Haga Haga), CP43 (guides them through a game reserve and through the Bosbokstrand Holiday Resort back on to beach), CP44 (Viskop farm), CP45 (dunno? but it should guide them past a school) and CP46 (finish of cycle; Inkwenkwezi Private Game Reserve).
HIKE through the reserve, collecting CPs close together (47, 48, 49, 50 and back to bikes).
CYCLE in the reserve, past the lion camp, to the Arena Riverside Resort (CP51).
PADDLE down river to Kwelera River (CP52)
HIKE along the beach to Glengariff Bay, cross Bulura river and FINISH at Balugha Bay
That's the rest of the route.
