Darkness looms on night 2. Teams are 30+ hours with no sleep. Racing for a Darkzone that few (if any) will make. And a quick look at the tracking shows that they are now straying further and further from the green line that snakes across the map. It seems so simple and obvious sitting here in my chair, coffee in hand. But is it?
We'll update you on the race, discuss the green line, and how to think about it as a dotwatcher, and talk more about the reality facing these racers as they enter the dreaded "time shift" hours of expedition racing. The next 36 hour will determine so many team's fates.
