Good morning!… It’s been a busy night! Overnight, Allen was 16 minutes faster than Nicolas Petit between Sourdough and Lake Louise, making his cumulative run time fastest by two minutes! Allen left Lake Louise 28 minutes after Petit, but has 30 minutes less rest to complete. Either way you slice … Read More
The run from Meiers Lake to Sourdough was fast! As handlers we start the race with an estimate from our mushers of their run times. Of course so much of this depends on trail conditions, number of teams to pass, snack breaks, tangles etc but Aliy and Allen are pretty … Read More
Hi folks, we’re back on line! Ray and myself have just arrived at the Lake Louise Lodge and are just catching up now with all the race stats you already know. We use Macgellan’s run-time and total cumulative time analysis too so a huge thanks to him for his hard … Read More

This text message from Moira is pretty self-explanatory… at least for those of you who are familiar with terms and fluent in text-speak. For those of you who aren’t, there’s good news: The teams looked “GREAT!” coming into the Meiers Lake checkpoint and everyone is now sleeping well, including Aliy … Read More
