EP3: 10/12 'Did You Push My Sports Bra Off the Ledge?'
michael:
Yeah, I'd guess that K/C are at the front as opposed to the back, but IA with your other arrival order predictions Chateau... Unless they TAKE DOWN the tents as opposed to putting them up? :duno:
Are you sure that all the teams checked into the pit stop within 10 minutes of each other in leg2 Chateau?
Chateau d If:
Arrival times: Yes, it's really tight. Take a look at the shadow on the sidewall of the pool directly behind the racers when they are on the mat. There is not much water in the pool so we see the sidewall . And it is a curved wall as in the side of the pool is curved as you walk around it. That means that the shadow line will slide along the wall as the sun moves westward. That shadow line barely moved at all for the first 5 teams. For the next 3 teams it has moved a few inches. Finally, for the eliminated team it has moved by a few feet (we don't ever get to hear their check in time but I guess they were apart form the other teams by a wide margin considering how tight those 8 were). But still, even seeing the shadow move by a few feet on that curved wall is 20 min tops. Maybe Tony & Stephanie had a flat tire :funny:
It's a mob finish!

Thinking about the altitude here:
Having climbed to more than 16000 feet, (Mt Kenya), I remember the headache, sleeplessness, and fatigue pretty well.
I am thinking that all of our guys (not just Mark) may well feel the effects of the altitude here, perhaps making them even more cranky w/ each other than usual?
Our racers have no chance to follow the recommended acclimitisation and certainly no chance to rest and take it easy for a few days...
From a great article by Rick Curtis, Director, Outdoor Action Program, Princeton University. (link below)
--- Quote ---Altitude is defined on the following scale High (8,000 - 12,000 feet [2,438 - 3,658 meters]), Very High (12,000 - 18,000 feet [3,658 - 5,487 meters]), and Extremely High (18,000+ feet [5,500+ meters]). Since few people have been to such altitudes, it is hard to know who may be affected. There are no specific factors such as age, sex, or physical condition that correlate with susceptibility to altitude sickness. Some people get it and some people don't, and some people are more susceptible than others.

--- Quote ---Symptoms usually start 12-24 hours after arrival at altitude and begin to decrease in severity about the third day. The symptoms of Mild AMS are headache, dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, nausea, disturbed sleep, and a general feeling of malaise. Symptoms tend to be worse at night and when respiratory drive is decreased. Mild AMS does not interfere with normal activity and symptoms generally subside within 2-4 days as the body acclimatizes. As long as symptoms are mild, and only a nuisance, ascent can continue at a moderate rate.

If the altitude sickness were to be severe, immediate descent would be indicated, perhaps requiring a medical elimination:
--- Quote ---Moderate AMS includes severe headache that is not relieved by medication, nausea and vomiting, increasing weakness and fatigue, shortness of breath, and decreased coordination (ataxia). Normal activity is difficult, although the person may still be able to walk on their own. At this stage, only advanced medications or descent can reverse the problem.

Here is all you'll ever need to know about high altitude sickness: :lol:
More prevention, causes, treatment info...

IIRC, they said in interviews that they had an unaired taxi driver that got lost, continuing their bad taxi karma...
So major bunching at the airport then, huh? ???

1) Terence & Sara arrive ahead of Nick & Starr because there are no vendor tents
2) In this shot, Tina is cheering Ken because he has satisfied the Roadblock by doing whatever to the Cholita.
Terence & Sara are nowhere to be seen (because they have finished it and they are gone now). Marisa & Brooke are there in 'next' position. Mark & Bill are there in 'next' position after Marisa & Brooke. Nobody else is there yet.
3) In this shot we see that more teams have arrived. Next in the line up are Toni & Dallas, Nick & Starr, Aja & Ty, and Andrew & Dan. We know this group of teams has arrived after the other teams on the bench because of the outside shot of Nick & Starr exactly where Terence & Sara where but now there are vendor tents in the background. Marisa and Mark have failed to beat their Cholitas and the ring is passed on to Dallas. Here we see Toni cheering because Dallas has satisfied the Roadblock.

Except this is Terence
