Pete and the Team pulled out of the Elim checkpoint into 9th place not knowing the hornets nest of the Top Ten. Soon after Pete pulled out, so did Dee Dee Jonrowe.

So the race is on for the top ten. It’s not going to be an easy run to White Mountain. The battle has begun. The mushers Jessie Royer, Team Kaiser, and Dee Dee Jonrowe are within a mile of each other. That means 10 minutes or so.

Don’t worry Pete. Team Kaiser is the strongest one out there. Go for it!!

Pete is out of Elim hot on the tails for Jessie Royer. It is a 46 mile run to White Mountain.

We are officially in 9th PLACE!!!

WAAAOOOOOO!  (That’s a human howl!!)

Pete is a mile out of Elim. John Baker and Ramey Smyth didn’t rest in Elim and kept going. The question of the night is whether Pete stops or goes. Any bets?

Pete and the Team are making GREAT time! 1 mile out of Elim at this time. I just got the photos from Lee Ryan and Andy Angstman and am working on them right now for you! You are going to love them!
