Hi Boys and Girls,

This is a quick morning update due to so many changes during the night

DATE: 3/9/2012

TIME: 00:41  (can you figure out what time that is?)

LEADERS: 1. Aily Zirkle, 2. Mitch Seavey, 3. John Baker, 4. Dallas Seavey, Ray Redintonton.  All have left Cripple within less than 3 hours of each other.

WHERE ARE THE MUSHERS: The mushers are spread out from past Cripple to McGrath.  Almost all the mushers have completed their 24 hour mandatory rest.

SCRATCHED: There have been 2 scratches.  Ryan Redington scratched in Takotna due to personal reasons.  Wade Marrs scratched in Ophir due to concern about his dogs.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Hope you are looking for the answer to the question.  I’ll post the answer later today.

Hope you are enjoying the race.  I have really enjoyed reading all your comments and questions.  Check back tomorrow for another update.

Until tomorrow,

Gypsy
