larkim Mar 2024 5:06pm, 22 Mar 2024 23,562 posts	0 larkim Obviously fatigue and night time play a part, but presumably part of the loop 4 tactic is to try to get at least a little sleep hence the "slow" loop 4 times. Jasmin was 14h13m on loop 4, has 13h30m to complete. Previous loops for her:- 1 - 08:31 2 - 10:56 3 - 12:48 4 - 14:13 Interesting her L3 was the slowest by some way compared to the others, but her L4 was slap bang in the middle of what the others did, with Damian slower than her by about 30 minutes. Difficult to know if that's tactics by either of them, or just the way it went for that leg. But if Damian is slowing, he may well DNF again and she could probably expect to beat him. Nail biting time now!

flyingfinn Mar 2024 7:14pm, 22 Mar 2024 3,716 posts	0 flyingfinn Apparently Jasmin was seen through the "Tower" with 3.40 remaining. Doable but tight seems to be the Twatter verdict. No sign of Damian it would seem (or Sebastian) but everyone else had been seen at that point.
paulcook Mar 2024 7:18pm, 22 Mar 2024 4,490 posts	0 paulcook Does that mean Jasmin has overtaken Damo. I guessed with the unprecedented number of runners on loop 5 there was chance they could work together even moreso than the potential last year.
StuH Mar 2024 7:21pm, 22 Mar 2024 4,747 posts	0 StuH Sounds like she's about 1 1/2 hours behind Ihors, going the same direction. Tight indeed 😬
