Rss/XmlDay 4 - Moons over my Hammy
The team had a good 2 hour lead through the first half of the day. A navigational mistake on Poison Spider mesa cost them an hour, but they still looked good and were in good spirits after coming down from the mesa to CP28.
They stopped at Denny's in Moab for a quick bite and then moved on quickly. Team Nike took the lead as Merrell/Wigwam slept somewhere between CP28 and CP29/TA 9. As night descended and the leaders were closing in on TA9. Golite/Timberlna, Spyder and Nike Beaver Creek were catching up.
Thus begins the Mountain Trekking stage which is shaping up to be a battle between Merrell/Wigwam and Nike PowerBlast with three other teams pushing hard from behind. They're now travelling in the La Salle range surrounded by 5 peaks all in excess of 10,000 feet. They have about 30 miles of trekking before returning to their mtn bikes.
