Sarah must be working hard at trying to keep ahead of Daphne as she’s now left her male companions behind.

Daphne is now in front, but not by 3 hours if indeed she has that penalty

Daphne has got a 3 hour penalty.

 "Breaking news... It transpires that Daphne Derouch was issued with a three-hour time penalty for a mandatory kit discrepancy last night, to be added to her time at the end of the race." Spine FB 22 min ago.

 They really do hate the French. ;)

The people who I thought would be stopped at Byrness are continuing, at least Dima Feinhaus is.

Really sorry it has finished that way however as it was a mandatory kit discrepancy then I can't argue, the organisers really do need the competitors/contestants to stay safe.

 I agree,but they really do need to get their act together and carry out proper kit checks at the start and make sure people really do understand what they have got to carry at all times.

Agreed.  I think the mistake some seem to make is the fact they have a drop bag, so believe kit can be removed/returned/replaced from that at will depending on what they think the next leg will be like, rather than understanding 'this is what you must carry at all times'.  Seems partly this time as well there have been some language difficulties.

It really does needs more clarification on when and where credit, and penalty times are served, as it looks like it is made up as they go at the moment and has been different in some cases in different years.
If penalty times are being awarded after the finish, then that is different to last year when Pavel and Eugeni served their penalty at the next CP, after taking to a road instead  of following the route across fileds.
The fact that credits were given for those that were picked up and taken back to Middleton, well that has never happened before so is a new one, and has obviously been allowed as extra time during the race, not after the finish.
Runners need to know all these things beforehand and I will make that point to Scott if no one else has done so already.

Daphné Derouch must have extremely hacked off, her time from clocking in at Byrness to Kirk Yetholm was 15 hours 22 minutes.  Sarah Kirsty Williams took 24 hours 15 minutes.

Jens Wackerhagen who reached hut2 then retired says that he ran short of food and lost a 600 calory bottle during a fall, which left him exhausted. He had to battle hard on low energy reserves and fight his way through sometimes waist deep snow, hallucinating badly,  to reach hut 2. He was wrapped in sleeping bags and gold foil where he slept for several hours. Its a bit confusing after that and it seems he retired upon reaching the hut. he states that upon waking he realised that he could have eaten in the hut and carried on to finish. However a photo of him being supported in the Border hotel in KY, gives the impression that that option was not really on.

Looks like 228 has made the same mistake that someone else did last year, cant recall who though?
