Star & Garter Take First

The Southern Traverse
The 1999 Southern Traverse was won this year by Team Star & Garter Nelson at 7:15 this morning.

Crossing the finish line at Mapua Beach Resort, Steve Gurney, Kathy Lynch, Nathan Faave and Aaron Prince were in awesome form and pleased to have finished in such great time. A total of 71.15 hours was all it took for Star & Garter to clean up the 443 kilometer course.

Winners
Kathy Lynch said the team only had two-and-a-half to three hours of sleep the whole way, and while Team Star & Garter worked hard it had found the course relatively easy.

No sign yet of second place, Team Cromwell, who must now be over eight hours behind.
