Nic certainly likes to get to the Yukon FIRST.....for the gourmet meal and some cash to go along with the prize! His dogs are amazingly upbeat and energetic, even this far into the race....all 14 of them too! Congrats Nic! Not sure if he will stick around to eat it....if the winner of this award is in a hurry they will typically give it to them "to go", and then the rest is shared with the village. The same meal is served at the Banquet in Nome, so if they do miss out in it, they will have a chance once again to enjoy the feast!
SO....where is everyone at? It does appear that Nic is on the move again....here is the run down:
Nic Petit....running at mile 513
Joar, still resting at Shageluk at mile 487....he has been there for 4.5 hours, I would think he should be pulling the hook soon, or maybe he will take his 8 hour res there? Seems early to do that so I'll report back once Iditarod starts to post some commentary this am.
Jessie Royer is also resting in Shageluk, mile 487
Pete Kaiser and Mitch Seavey just got into Shageluk.....I will keep an eye on if they will be coming or going
Richie Diehl is running into Shageluk at mile 484
Redington is running at mile 476
Failor is running at mile 464
Paige Drobny is running at mile 463
Matt Hall is running at mile 460
Jesse Holmes (Hollywood) is running at mile 459
Mats Peterson is running at mile 450
Aliy is off her 24 hour rest and is running at mile 450 right now.
It will be interesting to see who stops and who goes on into Anvik from Shageluk....I suspect Aliy will not, since she just got off her 24 hour rest in Iditarod and has plenty if fuel (rest) in the tank to continue on.
Im off work til Monday......so check in more often as I will be posting more through the day (and night) as the race continues and strategies play out!
