Great trail route, including much laughter when i sank as deep my knee on one particularly boggy section 🙄

And we've already had one person go through the first checkpoint! An epic 130 mile ride from Nephi means he's raced through Philadelphia (I prefer Dairylea myself) and sees him bearing down on the intriguingly-named Elktown. I think he's got some help from that green lorry that's just behind him. leads the run/walk, courtesy of a 26.6 mile run that leaves him over half way to Stone Henge. He's on a footpath at the moment, so live coverage of his location will have to wait until he breaks cover. And 2.1 miles of swimming gives Oranj the lead in the swim, just over a quarter of the way to the first CP at Pont Maréchal Juin. The river is looking beautiful at this point, and in the background you can see Pont de la Pénétrante and a couple of nice yellow cranes. He's certainly penetranted this challenge with his opening effort.
