Greetings

As we move into February, we have less than two months to go to the race date. Things will get busy and a little chaotic and we will be following up with team captains shortly to confirm your flight details and your options selected.

We would also like to request team captains to please settle your outstanding amounts if you haven't before the end of the month as we will simply be overwhelmed with work for most of March and we really need to get this bit of business sorted and done with sooner rather than later please.

We have had requests from some teams to rent life jackets: We will advise you if rentals are available shortly.

There have been questions on the following:

1) When will the medical list of mandatory equipment be available?

It will be available on the news updates section in mid february as we have made some minor amendments to it.

2) Spare Tubes: The individual/Team mandatory list has spare mt.bike tubes in both sections. We recommend teams bring 4-5 spare tubes at least and each individual should have at least 1 spare tube with them at all times during the mt.biking sections.

There will be random equipment checks during the course of the race so ensuring you abide by the mandatory list is crucial.

3) Whats the weather like and expected to be in April?

It has been brutally hot and dry with temperatures going up to 38 degree's celcius on some afternoon's. We cannot predict the weather in April as the weather patterns are extremely inconsistent. If it is as hot as it has been these past few weeks, please ensure you come with the right gear and sun protection as the borneo heat and sun can break down an athlete a lot faster than it may in Singapore or Hong Kong.
