    Lupus Extreme has arrived at Checkpoint 14 and are in a good mood. They say climbing and doing the ropes in the dark was a bit scary but are otherwise doing well. Right now they are catching a few hours of rest. They have the same number of optional checkpoints as the leaders.

    Team Gearjunkie - YogaSlackers arrived at checkpoint 14 feeling good after taking in 3 hours of sleep on the trailside. They also limited their trek to picking up a single optional checkpoint along the trek so all of the leading teams are essentially even.

    Team Dart Nuun, Tecnu Extreme, Gearjunkie - YogaSlackers all left all in one big group at 4:15am.

    Team Nuun arrived at Checkpoint 14/ACP3 at 12:43am after completing checkpoints 1-13 and optional checkpoint 13A opting to skip checkpoints 13B-13E. Team Tecnu arrived at 1:43am and also chose to skip most of the optional checkpoints.

    Team Yogaslackers appears to be extremely close as well, We'll shuffle the standings as soon as they come in and we sort out how many optional CPs they collected.

    The rankings on the Leaderboard have been updated with our best estimate of current rankings based on SPOT reporting and checkins at manned checkpoints. This is current as of 11pm. The checkpoint data on the Leaderboard is still behind but the rankings are current. Expect more frequent Leaderboard updates tomorrow AM.

    Just wanted to mention that the leaderboard is pretty inaccurate at the moment. We are going to get it updated as soon as possible with reasonably current standings.

    Teams Nuun, Tecnu, Lupus Extreme, and Yoga Slackers are close together near the rope section with Slackers in the lead and Nuun reported to be close behind. Perdidos and Team Breakouts are both nearing the ropes. Team Cygolite is in Hammil Canyon near or passing checkpoint 11.

    Teams Adventure Seek and Mojo are both last SPOTTED coming off of Eagle Peak and are likely in Hammil Canyon (which seems to block the SPOT signal). Racing with Giants was reported at Eagle Peak far more recently and Outdoor Mindset are still climbing to the peak (Likely an hour to 90 minutes out).

    Dirty Avocados are about halfway up to Eagle Peak in Eagle meadow.

    I'll post another update on the teams which haven't made ACP2 shortly.
