Its 10:45PM in NY and its 6:45PM in Alaska.
DALLAS SEAVEY just came into MCGRATH and is bedding the dogs down for about 4 hours then maybe go all the way to CRIPPLE before stopping for his 24 hour. MITCH SEAVEY, the Dad, just went through MCGRATH and on to TAKOTNA to take his 24 hour layover. Everyone has a different stragedy.
It will take MITCH about 2 1/2 hours to get to Takotna on an ever changing trail. He will experience some steep ups and downs, lots of curves etc. interesting run. Dusk is setting in so it will be dark by the time he gets there.

This year the Insider has offered, to their membership, live feeds from the checkpoints. Joe and Danny are manning the coverage. So, this year you can feel like you're present and part of the race.  There is also a chat room where you can ask them questions. Great to have the interaction.
