Pete and the Team arrived into Takotna early this morning at 3:21am in 14th position. He said early on he had a few dogs in heat. I am not sure if that became more of a problem or not, but he dropped another dog in Nikolai and is now running with 14 dogs. GPS shows that he did not go through Takotna, so after his 24 hours, he can resume the race at 3:21am early tomorrow morning.
Takotna is well liked by mushers and has become really the hub of 24 hour layovers. The town treats the teams super nice and some of the best food on the trail is at the checkpoint. I hope to be able to talk with him at some point and will get you the interview if I can.
Take a good break Team Kaiser!
