💥#MerrellMentoredTeam 6th at @expafrica 2018 💥 how’s this for three young newcomers to adventure racing? @MERRELL_ZA @kineticeventsZA #ExpAfrica #EA2018 #AdventureRacing

After inhaling all the food they could find at T7 the team has left for the final leg of @expafrica a 57km cycle. They are being chased by Team 7, EnduranceLife UK! Into the final hours of #EA2018 🤘 #ExpAfrica @kineticeventsZA #AdventureRacing

The #MerrelMentoredTeam have started climbing up to CP32. This has unexpectedly turned out to be the longest leg at @expafrica 2018 🇿🇦 25 hours in! #MerrelMentored #ExpAfrica #AdventureRacing #EA2018 Track - live.arworldseries.com/africa18/ TEAM 18

Update: Team Jabberwock just passed CP32, taking longer than 24 hours to get from T6 to CP32. Estimated time for leg was 13hours! The kloof is proving very difficult to get through and taking much longer than expected! #MerrelMentored left T6 at 11:30 yesterday... #ExpAfrica

Video highlights of day 3 @expafrica with the #MerrelMentored Team. A day long trek with unexpected cold conditions! Watch the full video here: goo.gl/iAo3Pc @MERRELL_ZA @adventurenet @ARWorldSeries @kineticeventsZA #expafrica #EA2018

The teams will have to do a 100m abseil in the second last leg. This will be during their 59km trek. #MerrellMentoredTeam making steady progress and catching up to the teams in front of them, according to the @SPOT_Africa trackers @kineticeventsZA

After the 4 hours of sleep the #MerrelMentored Team left T5 seven hours behind Jabberwock! They just left T6 only 4 hours behind after a good cycle leg. #ExpAfrica #EA2018 @kineticeventsZA @

The team took 4 hours to sleep and recover at T5. “I think the team needed it and it’s payed off already, we’ve just had a good cycle and almost at T6. Now we can push through to the end” @grahamtweetbird #MerrelMentored #ExpAfrica #EA2018 @kineticeventsZA @MERRELL_ZA

Update: The #MerrelMentored Team took a longer than expected stop at T5 and only left at 3:30am. They are now busy with the 92km cycling leg. Track them here - live.arworldseries.com/africa18/ #ExpAfrica #EA2018 #ExpeditionAfrica @MERRELL_ZA
