Hi Boys and Girls,

I’m so excited to see what is going to happen next in the race that I can’t sleep.  So I thought I’d do another early edition report for you to read when you wake up.  It’s an exciting race out there.  Who do you think is going to win?

DATE: 3/10/2012   early edition

TIME: 00:58  I received some answers to what time it was when I posted yesterdays early edition.  Hope from a 3rd grade class in Kansas says their class is trying hard to learn 24 hour time.  Good job Hope and to all your classmates.

LEADERS: 1. Mitch Seavey, 2. Aily Zirkle, 3. Dallas Seavey, 4. John Baker, Aaron Burnmeister.  Mitch, Aily, and Dallas have been pretty consistent in the top 3 spots.  I’m watching this closely.

WHERE ARE THE MUSHERS: Mitch and Aily have left Galena.  21 mushers From Ruby to Galena have finished their mandatory 8 hour rest break.  The rest of the mushers are between Ruby and Ophir.

RED LANTERN POSITION: Bob Chlupach who is resting in Ophir.

SCRATCHED: None

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Hope you are looking for the answer to the question.  I’ll post the answer later today.  I have another question for you.  What is this mandatory 8 hour break and where does it have to be taken at?

Well I’m off to do some kennel work and then take a nap.  I’ll be back later today with another update for you.  Enjoy!

Until this afternoon,

Gypsy
