End of stage 4 stats

After 256 km, we are 4th overall and 2nd in the 40+ category.
Cumulative time 18:19:30 with an average pace of 4:17/km.
We just finished the 4th stage and there are 2 more. The Mud Sharks are 30min on us, they are a young team, but fast. However they only have 6 members so they have to run 6 legs each, and they would be getting very little or no sleep. Now we have some fast runners heading out too.
But now I'm done, as are several others on the team.
The breakfast of pancakes and sausage was excellent but the coffee was gross. Now we are heading to the finish to shower and get bevvies for the team.
Then we'll head to the finishline to meet our team and run in together.
The sun came up during my run - morning broke with sun shining through low clouds that were breaking up quickly. But is us starting to warm up and the humidity was very high after the rainstorm last night.
Over breakfast we all got together (except for the few guys who were asleep in the tent) and told stories about running in the rain and how little sleep we got. A great bunch of guys.
