Good Morning Race Fans!
After arriving with a 34 minute lead and taking his mandatory 4 hour break, Pete has taken the Team back to the trail for the 53 mile run to the Finish! After dropping 2 more dogs, Team Kaiser is now 7 dogs and their fearless driver, Pete Kaiser!!
Pete arrived into Tuluksak 34 minutes in front of Joar Leifseth-Ulsom after carrying a dog down from Kalskag at 1:17am. He is out of Tuluksak exactly 4 hours later at 5:17am. Joar is also out after his layover at 5:51 with 6 dogs as is Brent Sass with 9 dogs, who is just 11 minutes behind Joar.
This is going to be an exciting finish for sure with just a 30 minute separation anything could happen! Pete made the run from Tuluksak to Bethel, last year, in 4 Hours 53 Minutes, which if conditions are similar, or perhaps better, a finish just after 10am this morning. So get your coffee, or just a few more winks and let’s meet down at the Finish Line to cheer on Team Kaiser!!
