I'm rooting for Kelly Maixner #22. #gomadstorck!

I'm hoping Jesse Holmes wins.

Oh hell yeah!

here is a interview with Kelly..couple of days old

about 2 minutes in https://www.ktuu.com/video/?vid=568763902

The first team, Waerner, is out of Unalakleet which means the coastal portion has started. It's unseasonably warm (i.e. soft snow during day and ice at night) plus a winter storm warning has been issued. So far, no hurricane force winds forecast the next few day, but that is always a possibility along the coast.

Kelly had to drop another dog in Kaltag..Just hoping he can finish at this point!!!

Waerner is the team to beat. the announcers have said his team is up ready to go when he leaves a building!!!

Jesse Holmes is out of Unalakleet now. In 13th place.

I'm following, went to dog handler school on Friday, was in the staging area for the ceremonial start on Saturday and then drove up to Willow for the re-start on Sunday. Rooting for Pete Kaiser, his sister is one of our charge nurses.

Photo from the trail tonight, unknown photographer.

Just watched Thomas Waerner and his team cross under the burled arch in Nome. Congrats to him and his team on the win.

He lead a long time. Mitch Seavey is 2nd thru Safety and he’s been really moving up through the field the past few days.

The others best finish today as there is a winter storm warning mentioning a blizzard hitting tonight.

I was happy that my BIL was able to finish with a respectable 17th place!!!

Very respectable. He beat some big names like Aliy Zirkle, Lance Mackey (4-time winner), and Martin Buser (4-time winner)
