big dog’s backyard ultra hour 42:
.
whoa nellie!
the netherlands-iceland shootout gets more interesting every hour.
netherlands lead has been cut to 10 yards now,
and iceland has a two man advantage on the ground. (5-3)
this has gone from casual to intense watching.
.
there were questions about tiny iceland,
and their over half women team being put in the mid-size division.
well, it is pretty much impossible they finish worse than second,
and they are very much a threat to win now….
.
and 3 of the 5 remaining icelanders are women!
.
in the large division belgian dominance continues.
they still have a complete team,
building their lead every hour.
belgium (615)
new zealand (-4)
usa (-13)
australia (-19)
.
japan has jumped all the way into 8th place.
.
there are still 204 runners in 26 countries tallying yards.
.
