Can y'all believe Rick Swenson?

Go Paul, Lance, Dee Dee, Martin & Rohn Go!!!

Keep thinking about last year and Robert's trouble with the dogs catching the stomach bug. No rumours about that it has happened to Kjetil, but if he don't start moving soon, I'll start to be really worried

That's a long haul from Ophir to Cripple. I wouldn't worry quite yet.

Thank you for comforting me, but ... eh...*breath, relax* ... OK, Heidi - believe you

So right tilstede. He has looked optimistic in the II video clips that I have seen, saying that he has used the brakes a lot so far. It has sounded like he can shift the team into another gear whenever he like. Let's hope he can do that...soon

In fact the haul was all the way from Takotna, all three of them (Lance, Jeff, Kjetil) just signed and left in Ophir.

Right, so he's got to be just resting. Hopefully.

I don't feel comfortable with the situation either, but remember what Jon Little told Kjetil's handlers: Jeff King's dogs looked very, very fresh - and so did Kjetil's. Now, Kjetil might be planning a long straight run to Ruby, and is just giving the dogs some extra hours of sleep.

Lance is still on the move. I was certain that he would stop to rest along the trail, but has not seen his speed going to zero yet. Has anyone else seen him resting?
I sure hope Kjetil has a fantastic strat up his sleeve that will take him right to the front again

Nope... been trotting along without a stop ever since cripple according to the GPS.
Been watching him every 15 min.
