Aniak Weather Cam
Good afternoon Race Fans!
After a 4 hour break, Pete and the Team are out of Aniak at 2:38 with all of their mandatory rest on the books.
Pete and his 12 dog Team were followed a few minutes later by Fr. Alexander Larson as they headed out for the 48 mile run over the Whitefish loop towards Kalskag.
We are seeing several different strategies play out this afternoon in terms of rest. Ryan Redington who lost 15 minutes to Team Kaiser over the Kalskag to Aniak run this morning, didn’t take a break in Aniak and will have to take 3 hours once he reaches Kalskag.
It should be an exciting afternoon as all these Teams make their way into Kalskag. Once Teams leave Kalskag it really will start to play out in front of us in terms of who will be at the top of the leaderboard.
It’s a heatwave up in the Aniak area- Haha! It’s a balmy -19!! Thank goodness there is no wind to speak of which will make it a pretty run over the tundra this afternoon. Skies are clear an the sun is super bright! Perfect weather, some mushers would say. There were reports of a rough trail on the Whitefish loop, to which Richie Diehl laughed- “It’s a whitefish trail!!” In other words it’s always this way.
More to come this Kuskokwim 300 evening! Stay tuned!
Go Team Kaiser!!
