I had been wondering if she would leave her husbands side, then almost 2 hours from the finish she pulled ahead, leaving Jason and his team of 6 a good 5 miles behind to take third place.
In fourth place will be Randy Mackenzie and his team of 9, running at a good pace they are about 30 miles from finishing as I write this.
Remy made it into Stanley Mission at 5:21 with 10 dogs where he will take his 5 hour mandatory rest. All the previous teams have been able to take extra long breaks here at Stanley as their finishing places were secured for the most part.
Remy however may want to keep to a strict 5 hour break if he wants to keep his fifth place standing.
You see there is a girl running just behind him! Christina came into Stanley 2:27 hours behind Remy, and although that sounds like a good lead (and it is), it doesn't give much room for Remy to take a nice long break.
AND Darren pulled in just behind Christina with 6 dogs.
So we have a race for fifth, six and seventh place. We'll see how the teams rest up and when they actually get on their runners to leave. Could be a fun finish to watch for.
Guesses? As the sun starts to come up over the horizon we could see the first of these three running to the finish line.
In the meantime, Steven, if all goes well with his 8 dogs, is sitting in eighth place If his run to Grandmothers Bay, where he now comfortably rests for a bit, is any indication of things to come he could very well hold that spot.
Which leaves Joshua as our red lantern holder in ninth spot. Joshua as I write this update is sitting at almost 10 miles out of Grandmothers Bay.
Good luck everyone, and Congratulations to all.
I wont be awake to see Randy cross that finish line, but I'll be there in spirit.
