NATHAN FERNANDES started on Leg 1 and finished in 9th place 32 seconds behind the leader. DAVID ran on Leg 2 and i was supporting the team some half a mile from the finish, all of a sudden there was this diminutive figure of DAVID appearing over the hill in the lead and handed over to JAMIE HARPER with a 29 second lead. JAMIE anchored the team to the Gold Medal eventually extending the teams winning lead to 41 seconds.
