Jeff and his team of 12 arrived into Koyuk promptly at 19:00, just after Anna Berington and just before Katherine Keith – two veteran female mushers.\u00a0 Ellen heard from Jeff this evening and a we can tell you:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Jerry smells Nome.<\/li>\n
  2. Today’s run was tough, but a warm tough.\u00a0 (Temps were in the high teens\/low 20’s)<\/li>\n
  3. He’s glad to be out of the wind!<\/li>\n
  4. He and the team will be resting tonight in Koyuk.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In the morning Jeff will head towards the next checkpoint of Elim, a 48 mile up the trail.\u00a0 If you haven’t heard the story of Elim, you’re missing out.\u00a0 There is a chapter in Jeff’s book titled “Elim:\u00a0 A Small Star in the Night”.\u00a0 As Jeff was departing Elim a little puppy began to follow along…\u00a0 how long would he go?\u00a0 What became of him?\u00a0 We won’t give the whole story away here (not to mention, Jeff tells it MUCH better) but it’s really a great story.\u00a0 Oh – and there’s even a children’s book version!\u00a0 “Elim: The Determined Athlete”.<\/p>\n

    Mother Nature has been a big factor in the race this year, and it seems that some mushers are taking it harder than their teams.\u00a0 Both Allen Moore (Kaltag) and Wade Marrs (Koyuk) scratched today due to their own poor health.\u00a0 We wish the best for all teams that have scratched this year, it’s sometimes a very difficult decision to make, and of course wish Allen and Wade a quick recovery.<\/p>\n

    The BIG NEWS today?\u00a0 Joar Ulsom was the first team to depart White Mountain and is currently headed to the finish line in Nome!!\u00a0 Joar was able to depart White Mountain over three hours before Nic Petit could.\u00a0 That’s a pretty good margin, but this race has seen a number of surprise finishes.\u00a0 Keeping an eye on the tracker, Joar still holds a 14 mile lead on Nic.
    \nThe Iditarod anticipates a finish between 2:00 – 4:00 AKST tomorrow (Thursday) morning.\u00a0 That’s early for us, but hey, this race only happens once a year, right?<\/p>\n
