Tracker Eye – The only remedy is the Finish Line!
As we are all glued to the K300 Tracker, teams are making their way down the Kuskokwim towards a 4 hour layover and Vet check. As luck would have it Pete’s tracker seems to be offline at the moment putting a lump in the throats of fans trying to glean any little detail about his trip through the night. Brent Sass has been gaining on Team Kaiser for the last 30 or so miles and the gap is down to about 15 minutes or so.
It is a cold one on the trail and leading the pack can be a stressful endeavor. I’m sure Pete knows Brent is there, but on many occasions he’s told me that it really depends on the dogs and the tracker makes it more suspenseful than it really is. You only go as fast as you need to go to keep those puppies happy.
Come to think of it, has Pete ever USED a tracker? We’re here night after night, year after year, but we are usually following HIM!
In any case, the next hour or so will be very telling as to what is in store for Pete and the Team. He’s got to be pretty pleased over all though as his times are good.
Stay tuned! Go Team Kaiser!
