Finish ETA?

[libby the lab]

Dallas has 230 mi left. At 8 miles an hour which is probably fast since they'll be going uphill that would be around 29 hours add 1 hour for daylight savings time add 8 hours at Skwentna and I'm going to guess at least 6 hours additional of rest for a total of 42 hrs. That pretty much means middle of the night to very early morning Monday here in the US? I'm going to hope it's a little slower so it'll be after wake up time here Monday morning

Thanks libby, been trying to work it out too

Dallas used 24 hours and 20 minutes to Rohn. It's a bit hard to figure out how this compares to the return run.

Of course, they have 8 hours mandatory rest, but that is part of their run/rest schedule. In the start, at least some mushers, tries to slow down the team. When the 8 hour rest on Skwentna, that is a bit different. But I think I am close to Linby the labs suggestion, although I think it might be a bit faster than that.

Dallas is pretty much in, 8 hour rest and 6 hours running time kat best), means 14-15 hours from now. So.. That will be 7-8am east coast?

So midday to early afternoon UK time, haven’t had a day time finish for the UK for a while lol

Dallas time in is 12:44, so he can leave at 20:44. It is 70 miles, so 7 hours is average of 10 mph. That is 4ish am Alaska time, that should 8am east coast?

The fastest teams used only 6 hours one week ago.

And that should be midday in UK and one hour later in Central Europe. I think.

I think so? Remember that US has switched to dst, so the time difference is one hour less than usual until we switch (on palm Sunday).

It is 4 hrs difference from Anchorage to EDT. That means 3 hrs for me in CDT. 5:45AM is better than the 4AM I was predicting!

I do hope you sanity checks my calculations 545 am is doable, 4 is just pain...

65 miles to the finish.

Dallas leaves at 8:44 pm...

10 mph = 6h 30m = 3:15 am
9 mph = 7h 15m = 4 am
8 mph = 8h 5m = 4:55 am
7 mph = 9h 15m = 6:05 am
6 mph = 10h 50m = 7:55 am
5 mph = 13h = 9:44 am

(I think the maths is right, but don't quote me )
