Well here’s the thing - Mitch just became another of the “leave, turn around and go back” contingent. He got maybe a mile out of Elim before returning.
Looking at times, Travis once again cut his rest short, but to be fair, he gave them 8 in Koyuk. From the tracker they were slow to get going out of Elim (compared to Paige who went out like a rocket).
Ramey Smyth made an hour on Aaron into Elim, so look for him to move up.
And lookit, Pete is already out of WM!
Yesterday, Pete and Joar said the trail was really slow for the first ten miles out of Koyuk - like 2.5 mph slow. Pete did it was weird because it was calm in Shak and calm in Koyuk, but blowing like crazy on the ice. And similarly, there was one section - I think between Koyuk and Elim where it was blowing a hefty side wind however Jessie said she had no wind, justsnow, so it sounds very changeable.
