[RMB]

Looks like Lance is 1st out of Nikolai. . .

[Moose]

Lance is out of Nikolai. He led Kjetil into Nikolai by three minutes. Lance made the crossing from Rohn in 15 hours; Kjetil in 9.5. Will Kjetil now follow him out or rest a while longer? Hmm.

[RMB]

And now that the trackers are back up, it appears King is in front of Mackey!

[Sungam]

Looks like Kjetil is on his way too

[Moose]

The latest update, just a minute or so ago, still shows Kjetil in Nikolai. Is the Tracker more accurate for movement?

[RMB]

I would think so, Moose. At least they update every 15 min. . .Current Standings update. . .well I won't go gettin into that!

[RMB]

Forget that last comment, after a new refresh Mackey is in the lead in front of King and Backen. . .for now. . .

[Moose]

Gebhardt's out ten minutes after Backen! Why does there have to be so much good activity as it's nearing bedtime in the East? (Sigh.) Too many late nights and early mornings are starting to take their toll.

Addendum: Now Zack Steer and Hans Gatt are on the move. Go Hans!!!!!!!!!

[boo]

Guess we need to rest in the middle of the day, like the mushers do, for 4-5 hours, huh?
