Rutger finishes fourth again!

Finally, we are back online. At 12.15 pm today the server for our blog went down.
Just to bring you up to speed of what happened since then, we give a short overview of the final part of the race.
Rutger kept his 10th position during the bike leg. During most of the 180km, he was biking all alone. He came into the transition 16 minutes after Stadler, 10 minutes after Lieto and 4.30 minutes after a group of 7, including Brown, Al-Sultan, Vanhoenacker, McCormack, Llanos, Evans and Bell. Rutger started running very well. It took a while but in the end he started passing most of the people in the group. Finally he ended 4th after Stadler, McCormack and Al Sultan. Rutger finished with a full marathon in 2hours and 48 minutes!!!!
Obviously he was quite happy with the result. More information later.
