Day 1 - Suffering
Team Merrell/Wigwam is suffering, Jeff had some heat troubles on his way from CP 7 to TA 2, throwing up and what not. So that slowed'em way down. Once they arrived Jeff rested while the others prepared the bikes for the next leg.
Robyn came in looking very strong actually being a crutch for Jeff, but started to feel poorly in the TA. Things really looked up for her once she threw up...YA!
Right now they are finishing the bike prep and are secveral minutes from leaving. They like everyone else will be be required to wait until light for the white water swimming leg, if they make good time on the bikes that rest will help the team immensely.
