Run-rest top 5

[mithious]

MB and king Jeffy both mentioned before the race that they still had some moves they have wanted to try out for years!
Sonwho knows with those two?

They did? They didn't happen to give any hints did they? I can't figure out what Aliy is doing...yet....I already know what Dallas and Mitch are planning Martin, long runs, long rests? Girls are doing amazing Then there is John Baker.... and Joar and and and LOL

Ulsom is doing what Aily is doing. Marrs and Kaiser are doing run short rest short (4th and 5th last yr). Makes me tired thinking about them.

Bruce Lee was just saying that no-one else came in to Manley carrying dogs.

Dallas' "dog boxes" have straw in them.

I know, read all about his sled. Still not sure. It has it's pro's and con's...do the pro's outweigh the con's? I don't know The race has already changed far beyond what it used to be. These young folk seem to be taking this race in a different direction, good bad, or otherwise and us old folk had better catch up I think....as far has hauling dogs though...I thought there used to be a rule about dogs on the gangline or something? Maybe all mushers will have to build and run sleds like this in the future to be competitive? There are risks though too....run away team, sled wrapped around a tree....how warm is it for a musher to sleep in, in a bad storm? Then you have the dogs not running the full 1000 miles. If he's rotating them then not one will have run the full race.

Then you have the pro's, dogs are rested, no deaths or real injuries. He wins, lots. So is this the future, future, of the Iditarod? Seems to be

Dallas has a phenominal team. I saw them leave the shute in FB's. Hands down, besides Sorlie's team, I haven't seen a more uniform, focused, evenly matched team....very professional!

Go Aliy GOOOO, run like the wind

Per a comment on Jake Berkowitz's FB page:

"According to his wife's post on their kennel FB page yesterday, ...Ken Anderson is also carrying 4 dogs at a time and rotating them every two hours. His plan is to run 8 hours and rest 4. However, his hope is each of his dogs will have actually rested 6 over that time frame."

The dogs on the gang line rule would also include dogs being carried, it would be in place to stop you free running dogs, unsecured to the team in any way

yes, thanks for this.

I wish they showed the race flow, like in YQ.

Yes, the race flow chart is missed. it's help a bit that you can compare five mushers together, but the race flow is so much easier.
