Earlier today we had a photo from Angostura Reservoir that showed race staff huddled up in space blankets, with the wind whipping through the background. Now, the report is that things are improving for teams who are still having to deal with the swim and paddle orientation, but not before the wind swept away one of the paper punches used by teams to show that they have located the O-point. The on-site staff had to improvise, and came up with a code that teams will now write down when they get to that point. The code that was used? “2012″ the year that marks the end of the Inca calendar and the end of the world.
