Iditarod 2009: Wednesday Night

Aliy pulled into White Mountain at 9 o'clock this evening with 11 dogs. She has a mandatory 8-hour rest, which means she will be pulling out at about 5 o'clock in the morning. It's anywhere from 8-12 hours from White Mountain to Nome, so we expect to see her team running down Front Street sometime tomorrow afternoon. I can't wait to see them and hear the stories!

Allen left Shaktoolik at about 8pm, still with 11 dogs, so he and his team continue to do very, very well. He's still got a long way to go, so I won't even think about making any predictions about his arrival in Nome. Whenever it is, we will all be waiting and cheering!
