We could run the full route but with less checkpoints- after all we do have a lot of CPs. But that decision would be questioned at an inquest. Hopefully things will have improved by Friday . We will make a last minute decision and I may call some of you for an opinion if that's ok.
With a bit of luck, daytime temperatures will be up in the week, which will improve conditions out there and save the race.
I would suggest that competitors take time to check that the students at remote checkpoints are ok and if there is a problem, offer whatever assistance they can offer.
