Macpac Girls on Top were looking fine this morning pre race start, until some monkey jumped in front of the camera.  The bus trip was uneventful, and all made it out to Dunk Island for a race start just before noon. 

In fine form as usual, the Girls have smiles on everytime we spot them, and at least a couple of cheeky remarks.  I think they may have enjoyed the snorkelling too much ... fins and snorkels flying in all directions (they should invent the female equivalent of the cricket box so I'm told).

They made it back to Mission Beach this evening in  19th position.  They are currently putting together their bikes and making ready for the 100km MTB through Tully and up to the top of the Tully Gorge before they hit a darkzone and will no doubt get at least a few hours sleep before setting off on white water rafting tomorrow morning.  NO teams are allowed on the river prior to 6am.

So far, no casualties - in fine form (unless you count Anne feeling a bit gippy on the paddle back into Mission Beach) and heading out on the bikes looking great.
