Good Morning again, Race Fans!
Pete and the Team are into Nikolai at 9:31am followed 2 minutes later by Eddie Burke Jr. and the Wildstyle Racing Team.
The dogs looked great and right now Pete is feeding the Team before taking a break himself. The dogs are eating well and everyone looks in fine shape.
I mentioned earlier that it must have been a better trail than expected, but after a short interview by the insider crew with Kelly Maxiner, it was not to be so. Kelly related that he had never mushed in mud before… and mud isn’t good for mushing!!! Apparently the trail was pretty rough and the South side of the hills had melted all of the snow away. Mud on the way up and ice on the North side on the way down. Also, the team had to deal with the jarring of the sled over the moguls. It was indeed a rough trail after all.
The insider live cam showed Richie Diehl taking a look at his sled. I’m wondering how the sleds fared after all of the rough trail as well.
Teams will be taking a 4 hour break here before returning to the trail and making their way to whatever place they decide to take their mandatory 24 hour layover.
Here’s hoping Pete and the Team fared well. They did look amazing!
Go Team Kaiser!!
