I will guess four to six hours? And then another 60 miles run to the trail after Iditarod, new rest, and then 60 miles to Anvik? A perfect 60x3 miles run set up. But this is just speculation. As usual

Jessie (R) will soon pass Joar. Jessie left Ophir 2 hours and 23 minutes behind Joar. Jessie is a couple of miles from Joar and Joar has rested for a litte more than two hours. Jessie might have gone a bit faster, but that's like five minutes or so. Unfortunately I can't stay to see exactly when she passes.

Buser has rested for almost four hours, he is 8 miles down the trail. Peter and Nicolas is traveling together.

Joar and Nic are on the move and neck and neck at mile 389. They are about 7 miles away from Martin, who has been resting for about 5 hours at mile 396. Behind them are Kaiser, Royer (who has been stopped for 42 min. currently at mile 388), Diehl is further back, Failor, Drobny, @ 364. Mitch has been stopped at 364 for 45 mins. Not sure why he would be stopped coming off his 24 and only 12 miles out of Ophir?

Flowerpower, thanks. I wondered about Mitch as well

mira, flowerpower, elsietee and all those with the tracker/insider, thanks so much for posting

Amen to that!
Huge thank you.

So, finally able to sit down in front of the computer, and certainly its happening stuff on the trail.

Nicolas is two miles in front of Joar, they have 10 and 12 miles left to Iditarod. Mitch Seavey must have found some jetpacks or perhaps his GPS tracker played games with us. Jessie and Mitch are together, 6 miles in front of Ryan Redington and Matt Hall.

Iditarod cp is at mile 432
Nicolas mile 422
Joar mile 420
Martin 411
Jessie and Mitch 395
Matt and Ryan 390

Peter and Richie, 388 resting

Danny Seavey:
Mitch Seavey has jumped into 4th (6th with Aliy and Martin in front). He only stopped for 2 hours outside Ophir, and I expect him to camp again before Iditarod. He told me he's planning to add some more rest into the schedule, doubling down on the 'this is going to get hard further along' schedule.

My guess is that Mitch unloaded his "carry dogs" and hooked up his entire team for the balance of this run -- perhaps all the way to the Yukon. His speed should pick up if that is the case.

Thanks Alphashe! I thought he was a bit behind earlier today, and then he stopped not that far from Ophir.. Then I was busy some hours with family (you know, homework, dinner, bed time) and when I had time to look again he was up there..

Nicolas has higher speed than Joar and has arrived in Iditarod. Joar is still three miles out or so.

Mitch is resting, at a creek at mile 397. Peter Kaiser and Richie Diehl is about to pass him.
