What a great race!!
I’ve been doing a little stat scouring this morning in the Iditarod Archives to see what time the Winner will arrive in Nome. Team Kaiser Pit crew is feverishly trying to figure when to go. I went back through and checked times out of Unalakleet and Finish Time of the winner. In 2016, though not the record Iditarod time, Dallas Seavey made the run from Unalakleet to the Finish, inclusive of rest, mandatory layover, etc in 45 hours 6 minutes.
Using that data I added that time to Ryan Redington’s Unalakleet out time to get the earliest (at this point) finish time for the Team that wins this race in 2023. Obviously the winner yet to be determined and there are almost 250 miles to go, but it’s almost time to be getting ready for a finish!!
Here’s the data. It’s kind of interesting. Of course the picture will become much clearer as we get further up the trail, but here is a good idea. What is interesting is that this is the second earliest that Teams have checked out of Unalakleet on the trail to Nome. Go Team Kaiser!!
Here are Photos from this morning in Unalakleet. A super quick grab of coffee and snacks for the Team and back on the trail!
