Sorry Folks....I went ice fishing this am and been out of touch....I'm back now and this is whats happening. Dallas has traded in his dog hauling sled for a regular REAL sled, so no more dog hauling for him and Mitch. This is the moment they revert into REAL, regular looking fair play mushers with no gimmicks hidden in their specially made dog hauling sleds. But the truth be known...they got here by exploiting a strategy that in MY opinion is unorthodox and not good for the sport. Its my Blog so I can say that! I'm still hoping Nick or Wade or Jessie can hold them off.
I absolutely LOVE seeing Aliy in 6th right now on the trail...her Team was really slowed by that intestinal bug but as she said herself, they are eating well and "in the hunt". You go Aliy and the SPK Red Team!!!
Most of you can see by the race stats that the lead Teams are on the trail.....so let me fill you in on what the GPS is posting:
Dog Hauling Dallas Daddy Mitch at 689
Dog Hauling Dallas at 680
Wade Marrs at mile 672
Nick Petit at mile 667
Joar Ulsom at mile 663
Aliy Zirkle at mile 643
Jessie Royer at mile 634
Jessie had ALL 16 dogs on the line.....a HUGE contrast to the Seavey Dog Hauling strategy where they essentially pack away dogs to be used later! Her dogs have experienced every bit of the trail...you go Jessie....lets see what this Team of 16 elite athletes can do on the last 3rd of the race!!
