New record?

Postby tanglefoot » Mon Mar 13, 2017 3:04 pm

Time on the start clock says 4 days 16 hours,
With mitch nearly in Elim and not far from white mountain, could we see a new record? Could it be 7 days... ?

Too confusing for my feeble mind.
But is it a possibility that the top five could match and/or break the record time?

I would not go by the Iditarod clock race time. At first it was showing time from the Ceremonial Start - then a few days later I saw it drop down and assumed it was from the Re-Start time, but again I wouldn't take it as gospel.

05 days 12 hours 34 minutes 10 seconds here.

I guess it some javascript.. that fails badly. although i can't really imagine how it manage to fails this bad. If it was like 9 hours or something it could have been time zone, but no..

Haha.. it will really be a record time :)
