    The pre-race team photos are up, Aaron's team is photo 55 and I think Neil's is 60. Didn't see anyone else that I recognized..

    and Neils name is not Neil - here's the choices of Neils MultiSport Artist Name Options: Mark Struthers, Tim Cochrane and Isak Meyer - as I assume he is not Fiona McBryde - team #29

    turns out that Neil is Isak Meyer - I thought he could have come up with something more original than that - it must have been all the hard training or the weather in Britian - that have him satisfied with a less spirited name than I would have thought????

    The Neil factor:
 
 "Nga Rakau got off to a flying start until they discovery they had lost their control card near the end of the first leg.""
 
 I bet you he had just shoved it in his pocket.

    I hate to be the one to point it out but team 54 is in 28th place well ahead of Neil. Girl power!

    Having seen Chris on ski's and heard of his surfing prowess I think it is highly unlikely that in our continuous search for his weakness that inline skating is going to be it.
 
 (and that is George)

    I was in Portugal over the weekend and watched the start - George did look rather wobbly leaving transition, Chris looked fine.
