A lot of the racing was near a river and competitors were advised to jump in to cool. The race started with a quick run from the overnight camp towards the Flying Fox and in the Adventure class, it was the third place team from Hong Kong who managed to gain a 20 minute minute lead over the the chasing team from Singapore. Yestersdays leaders made a navigation error which dropped them down to 4th plave but they retired later in the day when one of themsuffered a torn toe nail and damaged thier knee during the accent and decent of a hill.

The course for them ended with a long mountain bike leg of 80 kilometes including the decent that the adventure teams took yesterday and which cuased a number of falls. after some seven hours of racing the teams still had a long way to go to reach the finish.
