Re-ran the tracker:
Nic leaves spit: 6:38 am
Joar leaves spit: 7:01 am
= Joar 23 minutes behind
Joar at the place Nic rejoins trail: 8:46 am
Nic at the place Nic rejoins trail: 9:38 am
= Nic 56 minutes behind
Total time lost: 1 hour 27 mins

Like I say, from a karma point of view, this pays back Joar's ID decision. If his team was without merit - i.e. was just profiting from another musher's misfortune - that would be one thing. But Joar isn't having that "magic carpet" ride - he's down on leaders and made a bad choice to continue to ID and ended up breaking trail. But the fact that he was still within 23 mins of Nic prior to this mistake tells me that he has a worthy team and deserves any good karma coming his way.
