Well that was quick... Tas Marine Construction snuck up while we were partaking in said coffee and Donovan Jacka and Chris Stevens (fully recovered) checked in and have set off up the mountain in the dark.
"We'll probably do it in three and a half, maybe four hours," Jacka said.
"Put it this way: if we do it in four hours I know we'll still finish third and I don't really feel like killing myself - I've already run 105km this weekend."
While they may be third overall, they are the winning monohull, a title which holds far more prestige this year after the race committee decided to score the main racing division separately for mono and multihulls.
