Transcontinental Race No. 6 - TCR6 - #TCRN06 - 2018

There is no 'race flow' on the tracker? :

Was it on last year's? Not showing at http://trackleaders.com/transconrace17 currently. Someone suggested it was because there's no set route, but that doesn't add up because they've got distance and time which should be enough - just can't put the checkpoint/end markers on it.

frrt.org has the info you would need to make a race flow chart.

@MisterTomTom good effort!

@7ven hurry up Pete! This isn’t a tour!

I take it Bjorn’s still not slept yet?

Bernd, also, no sleep?

great work man - keep at it.

Made it to checkpoint 1 before 11pm, my GPS is still set to BST so spent a wonderful half hour thinking I'd made it a hairs under two days.

In watching the replay, it looked like cap2 slept for about 3 hours. Cap15 hard to tell because of missing tracker. Maybe also 3 hours?

#146 looks like they might be on for a major alpine deviation

Well done!

Discooooo

Definitely up to something weird, although I feel they must just be visiting Elvas for the craic... I can’t see any reasonable advantage in going up there?

What happened?

Met a guy at the top of the climb after cp1 who had missed the checkpoint so has to go back and do it all again

Similar to the guy who took all his camping gear off to ride up the stelvio

@ewanmac back on track now but Ben Davies #195 is off on his own now in an odd direction. Maybe less elevation?

Dot watchers breakfast in the spirit of things

4 scratched now. Any known reasons? Besides the broken leg for 197

Edit: #140 scratched at almost the same place as 197, any further info?

Bjorn now at CP2.

Does anyone have an elevation of the compulsory route at CP2? Do they climb and then down to the check point and then climb out again?

@skinny posted a profile of it on instagram this morning. I think the answer is yes.

Ah, yes, just seen it, thanks. looks nasty

To Ryan? A sizeable cyst extracted from his loins:

Or is he going to CP3?!!!

Any idea how accurate Freeroute is?
Quite a few seem to have not taken the correct road immediately after CP1
Blue is a tracked route for example
