Mitch Seavey left in 4th place here in Shaktoolik. Not far behind Aliy Zirkle. If Mitch keeps his travel speed the way he had, he should pass Aliy on route to Koyuk. Dallas is now sitting at the shelter cabin at ” the rock “.

Wade Marrs is arriving in 5th place here in Shaktoolik. His team looked solid when I met him a few miles before the checkpoint. It is going to be a bit demoralizing for him, once he finds out that all other 4 teams ahead of him have left. He announced that he is staying a little bit. People here in Shaktoolik are really good at bringing out water and the food drop to an arriving musher. His official in time is: 13.52 with 12 dogs. Looking good Mr. Marrs!
