PJM450 Morning update – Leading by 6 minutes

Good Morning Team Kaiser!
This morning the Sarellite tracker shows Pete with about a 6 minute lead. Looking back at the tracker, Team Kaiser was about 6 minutes ahead of John Shandelmeier into the Village of Elim this morning at about 6:10am.
Tracker shows that Pete left Koyuk last night at about 7:30pm. Times from all of the mushers are pretty slow over this part of the race. Generally during the Iditarod, Koyuk to White Mountain would be a 12 hour run. In this race, mushers are on track for for close to 16 hours.
Quite possibly we will see short breaks in Golovin even though there is a layover in White Mountain.
Presently, (8:30) Pete has increased his lead slightly to about 2 miles as they head up onto a penninsula that will take them into Golovin.
Golovin weather is absolutely great for mushing. 12 degrees above with a 10 knot wind from the northwest. Golovin is about 18 miles from White Mountain. Golovin is 95 miles from the finish in Nome.
