Finish ETA

This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

Finish ETA

Postby libby the lab » Tue Mar 17, 2020 6:01 am

Thomas was into White Mountain at approximately 5:45AM ADT. Usually 17 to 18 hours from then is the finish. 10:45-11:45PM ADT.
(2:45-3:45 AM my time so I better get a nap in today)

...so, I can say that watching the finish is part of school curriculum, yes?

It's English, Geography, sport (kind of), math (us are using some weird units :))

YES! Sounds good, teacher of the trail in Norway! And a Norwegian might win this year ... again, so history too.

Seppala was half Norwegian or something, they do have a memorial race called after Seppala here :) and the serum run to Nome is kind of history, special these days. Looks like I have a plan :lol:

For ETA, 9-10 hours from WM? so 10 hours from now :)
