Just 2 hours between first and eighth place....and just 5 minutes between second and fourth - that's a close competition.

And if you want to hear those stories too......we'll be bringing you some FB live at our Awards Banquet later on today - tune in around 1650 (4:50 pm), awards will start at 1700 (5pm).

Rest up, see you soon.

😊 INTRODUCING THE REMARKABLE RHIANNON 😊

This is the amazing Rhiannon Bower. She is the brilliant person who has been bringing you the race action on FB live. As well as some of the photos on here too.

You will know her voice by now, so it’s time to see who is behind the camera!

This is Rhiannon’s first time doing FB live and we all think she smashed it. She is hired for sure.

Thank you so much Rhiannon. Please stand up and take a bow for your commitment and dedication to the Underdog. And for helping every armchair musher and follower feel involved and part of things. You totally rock..
