At least, if it's one person I'm not worried about being out in a storm, it's Lars.. but it might not be that wise thinking about the competition
Lars has rested for 2.5 hours 40 miles from Iditarod. Larry has stopped for the last 30 minutes 50 miles from Iditarod. Jeff come from behind, seemed like he stopped at his spot for a couple of minutes before Jeff continued.
I do hope this works out for Joar but I have some doubt, Lars/Larry/Jeff will all help getting the trail settled I guess.. I think if Joar move should really work no more should have gone.. But I hope I'm wrong! On the other hand, he will not need to break trail to Yukon (most likely) and he will has a fresh team comparing with Nicolas taking 24 in McGrath for instance.
Jakes article (posted somewhere) were great reading.. He did the same computation as we all try to do (who is actually in the lead).
