Having a dog team eat is key. 10.000 to 12.000 calories the dogs eat during the long days of running. And Wade’s team was digging right in. That is always a very good sign. He decided to stay for another hour and half. Pete Kaiser should come in here by that time and a race for 5th place might be on, if Pete decides to blow through the checkpoint. Most mushers who are competing for the Top spots will not stop long in Elim, if at all. Usually mushers who get here further down in the standings, will stay more of an equal run and rest schedule.
