Although Team OrionHealth.com was expected to arrive early this morning, they had several navigational errors overnight — add this to the headwind that is steady at 30mph and gusting up to 36 – and they are now not expected to arrive until the early afternoon.  To see their path, go to the SPOT tracker page, check the box for “OrionHealth.com” and click “Show Tracks.”  You’ll see a couple of loops that were taken, and you can also see that the next two teams, Salomon/Crested Butte and Merrell/Zanfel, are nipping at their heels.  Keep in mind, Team Merrell/Zanfel has a significant penalty to make up, so even if they finish slightly ahead of another team, they will most likely place behind them.  The final penalty will be reflected in the official results at the end of the race.
