Towards the Yukon!

As Aliy is waiting out her 24 hour rest....the rest of the Teams are turning the corner towards the Yukon.  The trail must have hardened up and was perfect running for the Teams from Ophir to Iditarod.  Damn.....I was hoping Aliy would have caught a break there!  Oh well....she gets an A for effort....and I bet her Team will be smoking tomorrow morning when they come off their 24 hour!

So, the battle continues between Joar and Petit.....Petit blew through the Iditarod Checkpoint, and Joar stayed for 4 hours and 15 minutes.  Right now, Nic is still resting at mile 443, as Joar is creeping towards him at mile 440.  Cat and mouse games on the Iditarod Trail! These 2 are the only ones out of Iditarod heading towards the Yukon.

Many are resting in Iditarod right now...basically the rest of the chase pack.  Aliy will break from her rest in about 8 hours....many of these Teams with her in Iditarod will be gone as she takes chase with a very rested team.
