Deguello will arrive at Coles Bay race control first, in about 20 minutes. She is now within sight of the jetty, tacking up the bay in a headwind of about seven knots.
Haphazard is now several miles behind at Weatherhead point.
Unfortunately the runners will now be looking forward to a four to five-hour run over the Hazards in the dark.
The 38km course leaves the jetty, runs around the the foreshore track and along Richardson's beach, takes the road to the carpark at the bottom of the walking track. It then follows the track to Cook's beach, crosses through the bush to Wineglass beach, runs along the beach then up over Mt Graham and Mt Freycinet, then over the saddle and back down the walking track to the carpark and return.
The descent from Mt Graham is extremely steep and rocky, and is really more of a climb than a run.
