Since the trek from
Danum Valley to the Borneo
Rainforest Lodge will take nearly
24 hours for even the best teams,
racers have to think hard about how
much water to bring, and many are
fueling up big-time at PC 14. With
the high heat and humidity, water
is a serious concern, and teams
must remember to consume plenty to
avoid dehydration. But water is heavy,
(about 8lbs per gallon), so many teams
gamble on finding it out on the course,
which isn't guaranteed. It's a decision they must weigh hard.
