For the sake o...So let's play some math games. For the sake of easy division, let's say there are 360 miles to go from Kaltag. That's 40 trail hours at 9 MPH. If you assume equal rest, you are going to have to move at 10 mph (a full mile per hour faster) all the way to the finish to make up a 4 hr diffential. About the same math if you are moving at 8 mph and your pursuit is going at 9 mph (45 trail hrs vs 40 trail hrs). So unless you start cutting rest, you are going to have to have a substantially superior team to reel in someone that is more than 4-5 hrs in front of you. At first glance, you might think that Dallas has such a team based his run in to Kaltag, but beware of apples and oranges: Different time of day, when it is quite possible that the trail was faster than when Aliy went over it (see times from Berk, Kaiser, and Redington). I suspect that Dallas is probably the last person in the field that realistically has a chance to win. But John is an awfully close second.Mike Davisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-30750893956497333392012-03-10T20:22:29.403-09:002012-03-10T20:22:29.403-09:00Do you know which 2 dogs she left in Kaltag?

I am trying to keep my mind elsewhere, so I don't obsess about this race too much, but I am not entirely successful. It is very exciting to see Aliy doing so well and yet wondering about the changes in team members with a long stretch still to go. <br /><br />I shouldn't be nail biting already, but I am.Writing and Life : Tothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12531776290882985366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-72473859914087861712012-03-10T15:19:35.239-09:002012-03-10T15:19:35.239-09:00Yeah, but Aliy really does look like she needs som...Yeah, but Aliy really does look like she needs some rest in the picture on ADN's Iditablog.
