ITC's proprietary tracker software is cumbersome and not always reliable. Track Leaders software can be adjusted fairly reliably and quickly to reflect actual conditions, as they have done when the Quest reroutes the track due to changing conditions. Another reason ITC should contract their tracker out instead of trying to do it themselves in house.

Pete Kaiser left Koyuk close to half hour ago... after bit over 5 hour "rest". hard to say how much rest, there was quite a bit of ppl and traffic, loud snowmachines driving by near by, etc. Joar will probably give chase...

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.

Me too, looks like he has been having a good run.

Mitch is now on the move again while Jessie H has now stopped. Too soon to tell if it's a snack break or an actual rest.

(* hoping its a rest so Alit can get ahead of him.)

Several hours of snack break... (he turned back)

turned back where? Last time i saw him he was coming into Koyuk not far behind Aliy. Then it looked like he rested 5.5 hours and left. But now hes back in Koyuk. How far did he get?

Oh, ok, i see now. It looks like he tried to leave twice and turned back.

I dont remember a race before where so many teams mutinied - Nic, jessie H, matt f, Mitch?, and is there something going on w Ryan?
