Looking at the rookie race- they are showing Robert doing better that 9mph from Shak to Koyuk, and Sebastien a little better than 6mph, and about 5 hours separate them. Can Robert catch him? Thoughts, and yes, I've got Robert as my ROTY. :D

200 miles / 9 mph = 22.2 hours
200 miles / 8 mph = 25 hours
200 miles / 7 mph = 28.6 hours
200 miles / 6 mph = 33.3 hours

So he'd have to stay consistently 2 mph faster than Sebastien.

Yeah, I did the math, just wondering what's going on with the speed difference. Robert has 2 more dogs, so maybe Seb is running a bit more conservatively. Still, 9mph is moving right along.
