Mary, wife of Stephen Johnson England
Nicholas, support crew for Kari Martens Sweeden, just got here two days ago and below is Oliuer (pronounced Oliver), son of Kari
Was at the race course at 6:00 a.m., it was very quite still, very few racers were out. Three are still biking – Eileen Steil and Peter Lefferts of USA and Suraya Oliver of England. Suraya will finish this afternoon on the bike.
Most of the athletes are pretty much walking/shuffling/slogging (slow jog) now. A few are still running ~ Michael Gaertner Germany who just started late last night and Ferenc Szonyi Hungary is managing some runs. Kari Martens Sweeden is looking like a zombie, his face is drained. He is managing a slow shuffle as is Guy Rossi France (Guy started this at the beginning). David Clamps left shin is really bad looking, not sure he put in too much running in the beginning but the area around his left shin is red and swollen a little. His partner has been giving him periodic foot treatments. Marcel Henig Gerany started off fine but has a slightly looking faster shuffle than Kari but you can see the strain in the way he shuffles.
Emmanuel Conraux of France was limping around pretty good this morning but currently he is looking better. He had a bad start to the race with the swim, coming out last after having a bout of throwing up and then getting hypothermic
Mario Rodriguez Mexico goes in spells of walking then he will get a few slogs in. Antal Voneki Hungary just came by in a slow jog, he is one of the last to star the run, Stephen Johnson Canada after him and then Carlos Ochoa is the most recent. We will see what these guys look like by tomorrow. Emmanuel just came by me, which is noon time here, and he is walking but doesn’t have the limping he did earlier, maybe it was from just getting up and that earlier morning
11:45 a.m. The Quintuple athletes are preparing to head out to their awards ceremony and you can see chafed lips and some sores on Andreas and Elke face and lips from the sun and racing.

Beto Villa's foot, the pad is swollen and he has a couple blisters on both feet, the feet out here will get worse.
12:30 Beto Villa Mexico was on the massage table getting the balls of his feet worked on – there are a couple of blisters there and you can see the swelling in that portion as well. He also got his knee bandaged as well.
1:05 David Clamp England is on the doctors table getting his ankle worked on again. It is pretty red and inflamed and the doc gave them some antibiotic and pain killer for it. They also found a website to show how to properly wrap the ankle for shin splints so after icing it for a while and elevation, they will wrap and off he will go again. Antal, Ferenc and Michael are the only ones with a decent kind of pace, at this moment.
