According to race stats from 2007 and 2006 Cim Smyth, who usually delivers a fast time on this homerun to Nome used 8:50 in 2007 and 7:50 in 2006. In 2006, Jeff used 10:30 and Lance 10:25.
It looks like we will have reall race on our hands from WM to Nome and I would think that both mushers will try their best to winn. Depending on the trail conditions, my guess would be that they use anywhere between 7-10 hr.
Lance is almost in the checkpoint now and the time is approx 9am. 9am + 8hr +9hr would give a finishtime around 2 am tomorrow AK time.
Puuh.... this was hard work for a slightly sleep deprivated brain.
Can anyone confirm that my math is correct or not.
