As you can see, alot of land still left to travel. Rudy is currently in McGrath where he decided to take his mandatory 24 hour lay over. Alot of mushers took that lay over last night. I called Rudys village "Anvik" yesterday to see if they had heard anything of him. No phone calls yet, but I'm sure he called while he was in McGrath. Ill try the village again today.
 
I have a feeling Rudy will make up some really good time once they hit the Yukon. Rudy grew up there, mushed it his whole life. He has alot of ground to make up, I believe he is about 120 miles behind the leaders. I'm not saying he is going to win this thing, but I dont expect him to be in the back half for to long.
 
I was messing around with some times, and saw that Rudy has made it from check point to checkpoint almost as quick, or quicker then alot of the leaders. Whats killing him is down time. If I remember right, for the first 5 check points, Lance Mackey didnt stay in one longer then 11 minutes. Rudy has been stopping for atleast an hour each time. Is age getting to the ol bugger? When I spoke to him a few days before the race he had said he wanted to try the first 30 hours non stop.
 
Either way, he is on the trail and I have high hopes he will make it to Nome. After all, he knows there will be booze there.
 
Should be pulling out of McGrath in about 10 minutes. I'll keep you posted. Go Rudy!
