Unalakleet – 5:30pm – 2-7-2013 Looking North
Tracker shows Dee Dee out of Unalakleet followed by Pete and the Team and Aaron Burmeister in third. Looking at his rest schedule, Pete has “Spent” about 10 hours of rest so far in the race. Dee Dee has a bit more rest spent so she actually is a bit further ahead than it shows in terms of how much time she has to wait in checkpoints. All mushers will face a mandatory 6 hour layover in addition to the 18, so this may come into play. Tracker times are pretty much jiving with official times- Pete was out right at the top of the 5 oclock hour. That gives an almost exact 5 hour rest.
His strategy though, of regular rest periods is also smart as the Team gets into a routine of sorts.
We will keep you posted. Go Team Kaiser!
