Pete has departed White Mountain!
The Iditarod may have a new Champion, but our race is far from over. 77 miles lies between White Mountain and the Burled Arches.
Pete and the Team have a beautiful day in front of them, but make no mistake, it’s all about mushing today! A good ten hour run will put Pete into Nome later this evening.
John Baker made the run from White Mountain to Nome in 9 hours and 42 minutes. Pete will probably make a conservative run as he has no one to chase. I figure though, that he does have a faster team and they should do it in about 9 to 9 1/2 hours. That should put him into the Finish at between 10:15 and 11:00pm tonight.
