After a warm wet day, Pete and the Team are probably ready for a short break. Iditarod Standings haven’t been kind to team Kaiser as we haven’t gotten accurate numbers for them. As Team Kaiser moved out of Shageluk several mushers who completed their layovers went to the trail. When he got to Anvik, they picked up a few more. By the time they reached Grayling there were at least 5 teams running pretty close together.
Once Teams leave Grayling headed North we will see current positions like we did last night into Shageluk. Most mandatory layovers should have been completed and standings will be more accurate.
I expect a 3-4 hour break here for Pete and the Team. The break will give them a chance to rest, but also allow the temperatures to cool and give them a break from this warm wet spell we have been having.
Mushing Weather for tonight is much better as the temperatures cool:
