AAS Estimated Finish Time

Postby StarDancer » Fri Mar 28, 2008 12:04 pm

Hello Mushing Friends,
I am ESTIMATING a Nome finish time of 58 hours. This puts the winner into Nome about 8 PM Nome time.
*** ESTIMATED finish time 8 PM Nome time *** ****CAUTION: This is an estimate !! ****

Maybe the top 10 will beat the record finish time of 74:14:37!!! What a way to celebrate the 100th anniversary!

Looks like Jeff made the outbound trip in about 2 hours. IF he can keep that speed, they would be in around 9:30-10:00 pm AK time. WOW! Looks like Lance might be out of the win at this point.

Up until the Council (return) checkpoint, my estimated finish time was consistent at about 56, 57, to 58 hours for the whole race. Suddenly, it's jumped to 63.2 and 62.3 hours as of Topkok and Solomon checkpoints. 62 hours elapsed time would be 12:00 PM (midnight) Friday Mar 28 Nome time. Sigh....
