YQ: Circle City

Good morning! We don't have very much in the way of updates for you as since the team left Eagle as there have been no official checkpoints to record in/out times, nor any update from the dog drop/hospitality stop at Slaven's Roadhouse.

We have, however, been monitoring the tracker closely and from what we can tell they stopped at Slaven's for around five hours. We hear there is a lot of jumble ice on the trail from Slaven's to Circle so we expect his run time to be longer than originally anticipated. They are about 30 miles from Circle City currently.

The new race rules see the teams taking a mandatory six hour stop in either Circle City, Central or Mile 101, it remains to be seen where the Black Team take their rest so we'll keep an eye on what's going on there. They don't need to 'declare' their mandatory rests so we won't really know until they pull the hook and leave.



Meghan and Mark have been in Circle since yesterday afternoon enjoying the hospitality of the checkpoint and the comfortable seats, doubling as beds, in Hollywood (the dog truck). They will be on hand when the team comes in later today.
