At 11:45. Wade stopped on the trail at mile 451 (Huslia is at 478 - so he has 27 miles to go).
Dallas is up and running again at mile 438. He's running 8 mph... so will catch Wade in just under two hours. I'd expect Wade to let him go on by and rest at least another 30 mins to an hour before setting off.
Interesting.
It's 2:45 (race time) and Wade is still resting as he's supposed to be at mile 451 (for at least another 30 minutes) and Dallas went on by (as expected).
But Dallas then stopped at mile 458. (prior to this he stopped at Mile 415 for three hours, setting off again at 8:30 am, so 6.5 hours ago).
If he stays longer than 3 hours, then it suggests that his idea of running two 70 mile runs didn't work out as he hoped, and his dogs need more rest.
(Joar is resting at mile 452, just past Wade, since 2:15 this afternoon).

Finally got a chance to listen to this - it's amazing how coherent the mushers are most of the time
I concur with what he says about those 5-hour energy things - I took one on a 75 miler once. It revved me up so much I couldn't stop talking (which I'm sure my trail companion was thrilled about - not).
Will never take those things again, except in an emergency.
