00:03A race through the tropical savannah country of Nitmaluk National Park on trails painstakingly
00:09rebuilt by rangers after heavy flooding earlier this year.
00:13While they're a little bit more technical and tricky than last year, they've honestly
00:19come up really well.
00:20Running, road biking and mountain biking, but no swimming this year.
00:25Rangers spotted two saltwater crocodiles in the gorge and were unable to catch and remove
00:31them by race day.
00:33Unfortunately, they've avoided them up until now, so yeah, two salties.
00:37They're in first gorge, we do our race in second gorge, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
00:41That swim certainly is spectacular.
00:44It's not my strongest leg though, and I didn't want to be the guinea pigs if they just reopened
00:49it.
00:50Lorna Bade, this year's fastest woman, despite a few scrapes along the way.
00:55We just slid out on some gravel, so we just picked ourselves back up again and kept on
01:01going because, you know, the race isn't over until you get to the finish line.
01:05A casual finish for the fastest man, Matt King, making it home in 4 hours and 46 minutes.
01:12It's something, yeah, that I first did when I was 10 years old and, you know, we keep coming
01:17back to it every year and it's great to see different generations, different people take
01:24on the event.
01:25It's such a celebration of everyone just having a go and cheering each other across the finish
01:30line.
01:32A huge effort in one of the top end's most loved races.
01:36feel first.
01:36I love the bear to call it in the houses.
01:41Anyhow moved away from the table?
01:42I feel so...
01:42The weather set of built upon 09します.
