Mark had a race on last night to cross border number 8 into Costa Rica. Pumping his legs into top gear and armed with his mobile phone he live-blogged his progress on twitter.

Here's how it went:

# Started the day with an awesome downhill. Always a gd feeling to overtake trucks!

# Been cycling through some very heavy rain today. Trying not to break another phone hence lack of tweets!
about 11 hours ago from txt

# Trying to reach the Costa Rican border by dark. 1hr 15 to do 30km so must race on.

# Cycling past Lake Nicaragua. Concepcion Volcano looks amazing and vast

# Yaas! Made it. Gave my time trialing legs a spin for the last hour. Reached the lines of trucks on the border at dusk.

# Just paying my way through each step of the customs - a dollar here, then $2 there, then... the border is a stealthy money making machine!
about 9 hours ago from txt

# I am in Costa Rica - Pura Vida!
about 8 hours ago from txt
