Hey, this is Rebecca Rusch, Team Argentina, calling in from assistance point 4, the start of the paddle. We're having a good day. We got out in the mountain bike towards the end because of our number, 41, so it took a while to pass and work back up and the guys came in around 20th.

And then a killer hike that reminded them all of Patagonia, and their home, and our race in Eco-Challenge there not too long ago — beautiful mountain hike, and with climbing and rappelling, and [we] moved back up to 16th place.

So we passed four teams in there and just waiting on them to arrive and start the river. The river's super low, so the paddling is going to be kind of boney, I think, but we're having a good day and everybody's feeling great and we'll talk to you again soon, bye.

— Rebecca Rusch, Team Argentina
