As I shot the start of the Akiak Dash, Cindy Andrecheck mentioned that Pete was in Third position. “Can’t be.” I said, until I got to look at it myself.
The Tracker is often wrong, so I take everything with a grain of salt. It shows Pete about to overtake Martin Buser for 2nd place. It wasn’t until I saw the enroute times that I became a believer.
Pete and the Team are literally running down the competition!!
