Then running 1Km uphill, After reaching the top, entry to country park single track continuously running uphill, Then level out after few Km. Nice scenery along the cliff of the mountain. The trail is the combination of rocky fire road, loss sand, stairs, running along the beach with up and down trail, cross the 7m river and 400m beach run going back to the bike transition.
The start of the race, beach running, everyone still have a lot of power.

15Km Mtbiking
Mtbiking starts riding in the flat paved road then 1 Km uphill. Then DH for a few meters then up again until reaching the country parks entrance. The trail is a nice single track with big boulders and rocks along the way. Some portion of the trail is not ride able and need to bail out. The last portion of the trail is going down to a very steep hill with loss rocks on the trail. The trail is very technical and requires a good skill in Mtbiking.
Onebyone on the bike, he is now a official rider of Team Yeti¡
