Here's the breakdown of the times so far:
| Place | Competitor | SUP Time |
| 1 |
Matt Hammond |
0:55 |
| 2 | Huang Wen |
1:01 |
| 3 | Kirill Litvinov | 1:03 |
| 4 | Brendan Sheridan | 1:13 |
| 5 | Jym Cotton | 1:23 |
| 6 | Mona Li |
It looks safe to say that Matt is heavily favored to win at this point having opened up a six minute lead on the second placed competitor, Ah Wen. At this point he can run the race at a chill pace and still finish first. Side note: competitors that do not finish the first segment within two hours are automatically disqualified. We are still waiting on Jym and Mona to finish. Negate that, Jym just made it through the gate and is on to the second and final leg. Mona is a marathon runner, so as long as she can squeak in in the next few minutes she's still got a chance to finish strong in the run segment. Pictures below:
Matt's in first for the lead.
Kirill's in for third.
It looks like Brendan has managed to keep his hat on so far.
