"It is what it is." Allen about the lost trail. Working with dogs now. Sleep soon.
The Waiting Game
Allen & 3 other teams took a wrong turn on way to Tolsona. He is over an hour overdue. Hope they will be on soon.
Bridgett Resting at Glennallen
Everyone is resting at the Hub. We are racing to Tolsana.
Red Team and Red & Black Team Resting
Aliy is in Tolsana where she has declared her 8 hour mandatory rest. (She could change her mind and leave early though!) She has bedded the dogs down and given them a good meal and is now eating herself and getting ready to get some sleep. Bridgett is in Glennallen doing the same thing. Both are running very well.
Allen is shown out of Glennallen on his way to Tolsana. Should have pictures for you soon.
Copper Basin 300 Start
Allen Cruising to Chistochina
If my sleepy brain has this figured out correctly, Allen passed 24 teams on his run to Chistochina. As Bridgett said, “He FLEW.” He came into the checkpoint at 8:24 pm AST very pleased with his dogs and his run. All three teams will now be resting before their push towards Glennallen. It will be exciting to see what happens tomorrow as people begin to do their mandatory rests. The times will be leveled out from the two minute start times. Aliy’s stop will be 8 hours plus 1 hour & 40 minutes since she started in the 2 slot. Allen’s will be 8 hours plus 2 minutes since he started in the 50th position. (Bridgett’s will be a total of 9 hours & 32 minutes.)
Mobile Update
Bridgett just pulling in to Chistochina. Dogs looking good.
Aliy In – Mobile Update
Corrections: Brent Sass was 1st in, then Lance. Aliy in with wet feet. River was open. Dogs look good. More soon.
