Eco-Challenge Canadian Championship - Day 5

Up at 4:00AM. Slept awesome last night. Met at HQ at 5:00 and watched competitors get ready, and help keep things organized. Quite a sight to see.
Watched the start of the race at 6:00AM, which was pretty neat.
Headed up to PC2 about 10:30 to watch the end of the first canoe leg.
Apparently lots of teams capsized at PC1.

Headed to TA1/PC4 about 12:30 to watch the transition from bike to mountaineering. Way cool. Remember the competitors not bashful when changing clothes, they were getting naked in front of everyone. We also started hearing about teams getting penalties because they were trekking on the railroad, when they were specifically told they couldn't do that.. The Golden team also took a different route than all the other teams at this checkpoint.
