Dallas and Mitch Head to Nome!

Sorry for the lapse in IditaDack race coverage....I had some personal commitments and was away from the action for a while.  As you probably already know....Dallas beat Mitch and Brent into White Mountain, and are presently heading down the last 72 miles to Nome.  Dallas did drop 2 more dogs and is down to 7 team members....but that really isnt an issue...in fact a smaller Team at this juncture can be an asset if the winds are high. 

Mitch left after his 8 hour rest at 10:27 PM (our time) with 10 dogs.  Dallas is presently at mile 911 and his Dad Mitch is at mile 904. 

Brent Sass will be next up....allowed to leave at 11:40 pm our time after serving his 8 hour rest.  Aliy will leave at 3:45 am our time.  She is solidly in 4th place with no real threat from Wade Marrs who is just getting into White Mountain now.  Aliy has nearly a 3 hour lead over Wade. 

Kaiser was on Marrs heals by coming into White Mountain just 21 minutes later.  A real battle for the 5 - 10 slots will be fierce tomorrow up the coast!
