We are expecting the winner to cross sometime late tonight. We picked a great year to start following the race, as its looking like we are in for one heck of a finish. Mitch Seavey (10 dogs) pulled into White Mountain at 5:11 this morning. Aliy Zirkle (10 dogs) was just 13 minutes behind him! (She won the Yukon Quest a few years ago, and her husband won it this year, making them the only married couple to win the race). There is a mandatory 8 hour layover at white mountain. This really helps the dogs out, the mushers are going to run them hard for the last 60 miles or so, and the 8 hours gives those pups a good rest. It will be interesting to see if they both leave White Mountain on time, every minute is going to count with these two.
 
Rudy is about 260 miles from the finish line I believe, down to 9 dogs, but as he says in the interview, 9 good dogs. I figure he will pull into Nome around Thursday!! We messed around with the idea of chartering a plane to Nome to be there when he pulls in, but to many people couldnt get off work to make it possible.
 
I have some emails to answer, and a little work to do. I'll be back in a bit, hopefully with some neat pictures.
