Kalskag at Last!!

Pete and the team are into Kalskag. He made great time from from Whitefish Lake to Kalskag. Presently there are 6 teams out of Kalskag, and 5 resting at the Checkpoint. Mike Williams Jr. turned up in Kalskag as I thought he would. Official times have left a bit to be desired from K300 HQ, but the Tracker gives us a great deal of data.

This has been a long mentally challenging run for Team Kaiser. I am looking for a good break here. Water, soup, and a bit of warmth, as well as many kind words await our Musher in Kalskag. For the last bunch of hours he has undoubtedly been beating himself up over missing the turn, but the Checkpoint will bring a better perspective into the race and I am sure bring him around.

John Baker appears to be making his move and has moved up to 2nd place. He is chasing Rohn Buser who has been leading for the last 100 miles. Lance Mackey was right behind him, but after the Kalskag checkpoint, the order has once again shuffled. The next checkpoint, Tuluksak, will offer a mandatory 4 hour layover before heading on the homestretch to the Finish.

Rohn is posting a real nice race time. Once he gets to Tuluksak we will have a better idea of a finish time here in Bethel.

Go Team Kaiser!
