WE HAVE A WINNER!!!THOMAS WAERNER his words "this is actually a dream". His first win. He was a little tired but more relaxed now. He came in with 10 dogs. He did it in 9 days 10 hours 37 min. He is married to a vet, lives in NORWAY and has 5 kids!!!
THOMAS WAERNER WINNER!! With his lead dogs BARK and K2
JOHN SCHANDELMEIA ,MEREDITH MAPES and GABE DUNHAM all scratched in UNALAKLEET in the best interest of the team. MEREDITH was for personal health reasons. We have 43 teams left. MITCH SEAVEY was second. He was running with many young dogs but he is rebuilding his team. Not bad for a rebuild.
Those that placed in the top 10:
THOMAS WAERNER
MITCH SEAVEY
JESSIE ROYER
BRENT SASS
AARON BURMEISTER
JOAR ULSON
PAIGE DROBNY
RYAN REDINGTON
TRAVIS BEALS
JESSIE HOLMS
NOME is now 26 degrees with 100% chance of snow and 25-35 mph winds.
The mushers all agreed that from SAFETY to NOME was very windy with snow.
AARON BURMEISTER's greatest moment was from KOYUK to ELIM. He went from plus 25 but felt like minus 25--winds then some freezing rain followed by ICE FOG!! Can't see anything with Ice fog. Came down over the hill by ELIM and it was crystal clear with the northern lights ablaze.
He said a sight to behold!!!
QUINCE MOUNTAIN is in last place and is hunkered down in UNALAKLEET
