Jon Little predicts finish time....

At this pace, barring more complications, the race finish may be between 8 p.m. Tuesday and 1 a.m. Wednesday in Nome.

How do you figure, RMB? Alaska is 4 hrs. EARLIER than EST. That would make it between midnight and 5am. Not good. I'm still sleep deprived from the travelling. Do I have it right?

Okay. FDF, are we talking Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning? If that's the case, I guess I'm with you. No "paid work" on Wednesday, so maybe, just maybe, I can do it. I'll keep the coffee hot for me and the tea hot for you. We'll see if Mith has toothpicks to spare for holding the eyelids open. Hey, how about a forum race sleep-over?

(Talking a big talk, but can she/will she follow through?) :roll:

Oooh, CynCyn, are on in?

Would be good time for Great Britian and Norway and the rest across the pond Iditabuds. Early morning to mid-day.
