Karolyn and her team arrived into Two Rivers Lodge from Chatanika at 6:20pm giving them a run time over the first 50 miles of 5 hours 28 mins. At this stage we’re not certain what position they are in but by our back of the envelope calculations they could be in third place.
I asked Karolyn who was impressing her and she immediately said “Razz” – she yelled and barked to keep moving every time the team stopped for a snack break. Gold is also impressing today – he doesn’t always perform well in the heat, and it was very warm today up in the hills, but he was strong and steady.
After their mandatory four hour break plus differential (although Karolyn had no differential to make up as she was the last team to leave) they headed towards Pleasant Valley Store to the finish line. As the car drives, the Lodge to the Store is only about 10 miles so the teams will do a big loop around to the Chena River and return through our local trails to make the leg 50 miles long.
Check out this smooth and controlled road crossing out of Two Rivers. Thanks to all the volunteers manning the checkpoints and roads!
We expect a finish in the wee hours – we’ll bring you what coverage we can.
Whoop whoop Razz and Gold good job helping Karolyn.
Alright Karolyn and the Red and Black Team!!! Way to go….with a tough bib number too….lots of clean passing I suspect!
