ID: Friday Morning - Red Team Out of Galena

Aliy and the Red Team are on their way to Huslia after completing their mandatory 24 hour break in Galena.

A few of you might have worried that they didn't start moving right at the 24 hour mark. In an earlier post I talked about how the teams make up their time differential at their 24 hour rest. This means that, because Aliy started bib #32 she had to stay (by my estimate) at least 25 hours, 34 minutes to put her on equal footing with musher #79 who stops for exactly 24 hours.

If you have the Iditarod Insider GPS package you can see the team is on the move and already clear of the checkpoint.

At the time of writing the current standings have not updated with her official exit time or how many team mates she still has with her. I will update more once that information is available.

The Black Team is still resting in Galena and we are presuming they will complete their 24 hour mandatory stop there.
