First day of the two day race challenged all teams. The fire starting and water boiling exercises staged the starting of the hiking by two team members of the river-side, under-water trail run to check point 1. The staging by four teams at a time allowed the first teams to get started close to the same time, and the early leads on the trail run stayed fairly closely pitted against each other. The order shifted some and the time distances grew between all teams by the end of the day.
Volunteers outdid themselves helping people with their bikes over some incredibly steep and rugged terrain leading up the hill to check point 3, and then down to the grueling trail along the cliffs to the mine shaft or into the rafts and down to the ropes and zip line.
