Leaderboard is showing Jeff King #40 out of Ophir.
GPS shows him snug in his bed....
I suspect there was a crossed wire when Larry Daugherty #14 left a little while back.
That, or Jeff's tracker is still snug in its bed, and Jeff is on the trail?

Joar 7 miles out of ID... down to 0.8 mph. Hopefully just snacking. I'm keeping an eye on him.

7 min. interview with Mitch in Tak. He looks/sounds pretty chill.
https://www.adn.com/outdoors-adventure/ ... m-tactics/
Radar shows snow holding back so far. The future model keeps having it covering that area, but it doesn't seem to actually happen.
Jeff is running. I wasn't paying much attention to Larry. Surprised me seeing him up there beyond Ophir. Kristy and Andy caught up with Anna. Guess they'll enjoy the visit. That front bunch gets odder and odder: ) Wish I could stay up to see Joar get to Idit. I hope he's still awake when he gets there.

Joar must have been snacking, since he's off again - running at 5.8 mph three miles out of ID. He and the dogs must feel like they've been going FOREVER.
Lars is shown as stopped (Don's Cabin?) at mile 392

...And Joar has arrived safe n sound in ID - a slightly over 10.5 hour run from his campsite.
Going to be hard to judge how long it took him compared to others, since everyone is going to stop on that run.
He rested 3+ hours in McGrath, ran for 8+ hours, including going through Ophir (mile 352) at 4:52 am yesterday
and continued for 2 hours 10 mins before stopping at approx mile 366 and resting for 3 hours on the trail (7 to 10 am).
Then ran for 10.5 hours to ID.
So a total travel time of 12 hours 45 mins ish?

That's a really nice interview - explains a lot of what he's thinking.

It's hard to tell, but i think he says "calm down <dogs name>" (gus?). Anyway, based of his tone he is talking to one (or several of his dogs). It was a really nice video, thanks for bringing it up (usually I don't look through many of them, i must start doing that). The team looked really nice I think.
