Cross Sportswear crossed the finish at 6.47pm and Sierra International at 7.58pm last night.But the Kiwi team Orion Adventure did not arrive out of the bush at TA 10 until this morning at 8.15am. They missed the after party function and are all in good spirits! |

Not long to go now |
| Eleven teams are still racing. Kiwi/US team GoLite Timberland will be next to the finish and are expected at Tauranga Bay any time in the next two hours. |

Disappointment! |
|
It was close call for Kevin Osborne's Ruahine Kayaks team - they were two hours short of completing the Buller River kayak when the 9.00pm deadline last night caught them out. Kevin says they were really disappointed because they were coping well with the course and really wanted to finish it. "This was going to be my last race but maybe I have to go through a finish line for my last one!" |
| |
Nike due in any time now |
| A crowd have gathered on the finish line at Tauranga Bay for the arrival of defending world champions Nike Balance Bar. The US team is expected around 11am. |
| |
Withdrawals |
| There's been three withdrawals tonight leaving 13 teams in contention. Montrail and Lundhags both have team members with injuries which prevent them going on. The family team Salomon GB was on the paddle section, getting as far as Berlins, but did not make the required 2100 cut off. |

Tight Tussle |
| The championship title might be won but there is still an intense battle going on for the the other podium finishes. Sierra Internaitonal and Nike Balance both clocked in CP 28 on the trek at around 1900 while Port Nleson has slipped back to fourth coming in about 20 minutes behind them. Cross Sportswear arived in at 20.48 just six minuts ahead of Go Lite Timberland. The teams along with the rest of the field will be battling it out through the night with the final cut off for the race at 6.00pm tomorrow. |
