A bit of Trivia…

We are projecting Pete and the Team to Finish the 2010 Iditarod in two hours or so. That will put his race time at under 10 days, 12 hours. This means that Pete’s time will be BETTER than Martin Buser’s WINNING time in 1994.

Midnite Position Report- Safety

GPS Reports Pete and the Team through Safety. 18 Miles to go. It surely could be a finish before 3:am, but most Mushers have been taking 3 hours. In any case, we are down to the last 18 miles of an epic adventure spanning Alaska and the imaginations of us all.

Pete Kaiser is now leading the group of remaining Mushers left on the trail.

More in an hour…

Pete Finish Prediction

[UPDATE]

Okay, here’s my calculations:

Pete left White Mountain at 5:36pm.
He has covered 32 miles in 4.5 hours.
He is 36 miles from Nome.
That puts an even earlier than earlier calculated.
Mike Williams Jr. Left White Mountain at a bit after Noon today and crossed the finish line at just before 10pm.
I figure Pete and the Team will cross the finish line between 3:30 and 5am tomorrow Morning.

SOUTHERN SEWARD PENINSULA COAST-
INCLUDING...NOME...WHITE MOUNTAIN...GOLOVIN
855 PM AKDT WED MAR 17 2010
.TONIGHT...MOSTLY CLEAR. LOWS ZERO TO 10 ABOVE ZERO. EAST WINDS
10 TO 20 MPH.

Unfortunately the GPS seems to be having trouble again, so I don’t have a current postion. Hoping to have the Williams Finish photos shortly from the Kaiser Krew in Nome. Take a nap as it’s going to be a long one!!
