1. They updated the blue line to reflect the actual trail across the ice. And they are still on it for much of the distance, just further inland. The last part is overland.
2. Mitch stopped about 2/3 of the way across - not good. He's been there for 3.5 hours, so this isn't a snack break. (That said, maybe it's part of the Plan - get more rest in a quiet spot and blow through Koyuk?)
3. In the meantime, Aliy and Jessie H have passed him.
4. Nic is still not moving. Matt H and Travis passed him. Matt F is about to pass him. Note that Travis cut his rest to 2:13 to put himself in that position, so we'll have to see if the gamble pays off.
5. I'm really glad for Lance that the weather has been so warm.
