Aliy just came in and the Team looked GREAT! You can see they were in about 4 to 6 inches of snow, kicking it up as they motored on in....so that is why the speed was down a bit....it was a bit of a slog I'm sure.
No interviews yet.....so I don't know how the trail was...but man, the Team looked good! Welcome to Iditarod Aliy!
SO....it was a gamble....now it will be interesting to see how her move plays out as the front runners come through and beyond as she serves out her 24 hour rest. Remember, it will be Aliy who as the fresh Team in 24 hours....while the Teams ahead of her are grinding it out on 4 to 6 hour rests depending upon the run/rest schedule their Musher sets for them. So 2 things to watch, how many miles ahead will the Chase pack get ahead of her, and then how fast can she catch up with them with a fresh Team after she pulls the hook in 24 hours.
Yeah....another day of IditaDistractions at work! And its IditaBagel Day....the Office just loves this annual event! 30 people are in the running for the IditaMug....I need to check who had Aliy in for the halfway bonus points!!!!
