The only Time Jeff has had a faster run to Nome from WM than Lance ( when They have raced together) was in 2001, Lance’s rookie year. He beat him by 4 minutes.
Here are the run times for King the last 4 years.
07….10:28…11 dogs…5th place
06….10:30…12 dogs…1st place
05….10:39…11 dogs…12 place
04….10:13…12 dogs…2nd place
Here are Lances last 4 years of run time’s
07…10:25…9 dogs…1st place
06….9:01…11 dogs…10th place
05….9:05…9 dogs…7th place
04…10.04…9 dogs…24th place
Back in 02, Jeffy had a 8:17 with 10 dogs and a 6th place.
But that was the year Martin broke the 9 day barrier, and everyone was running fast times.
It sound like the trail coast has been slow for both Lance and Jeff this year so I’m thinking 10 hours will be about the time the first musher will hit Nome no matter who it is, or at least I hope so So I can see the finish
Go Lance Go!!!
