In the excitement of the Bogus 150 Win, let’s not forget the A-Team out on the trail! Pete and the team left Kalskag in 9th place. The teams are grouped pretty closely together and it is still anyone’s race. The Tracker Map shows Pete in 8th place. The placing is a little out of order because one musher, Scott Smith, didn’t take his layover in Kalskag and went ahead to Aniak. He is in the middle of his layover and by the time it is over, many teams will have passed him. Sometimes this strategy can pay out, but most times it doesn’t. Each musher has a game plan they start out with and that’s why I am not too worried about Pete’s position right now. The teams to beat so far are the Busers and Mackey who seem to have some good times. Striking distance is still within range for Pete and the team.
Pete was out of Kalskag at 11:05am with 14 dogs. That is just 29 minutes behind the first musher. Start time adjustments are now complete, so the order will establish itself fully after teams leave Aniak.
Go Team Kaiser!
