big dogs backyard ultra hour 9:
.
at this point all the big dogs are just punching their tickets hour after hour,
so all the attention is turning to the small countries,
where things are heating up by the hour.
.
bermuda is clinging to a narrow lead,
but they have lost a man
and now they have 14,
the same as mauritius (-1)
uruguay and cote d’ivorie (-2)
.
brunei is hanging in there at (-2),
but they are down to 13 athletes.
unless the teams ahead lose more men,
brunei is going to be losing ground every hour.
bermuda lost their 6
cote d’ivorie the 13
and Mauritius their 8
this gives an advantage to cote d’ivorie,
with all their top seeds in place,
while bermuda and maritius will need an extra effort from their lower seeds to make up for the loss of high seeds.
.
whose team will come through….
.
or will someone further back have a bunch of runners stick
and crawl back into the competition?.
we will find out one hour at a time!
