I am hoping by the time folks start arriving at Sourdough, CB volunteers have it sorted out. I know they do a great job with few people, so patience is the order of the day, I expect.<br /><br />Writing and Life : Tothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12531776290882985366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-38024455833607762942017-01-14T12:20:07.494-09:002017-01-14T12:20:07.494-09:00sorry, Chris, meant Christopher ; not Christian. ...sorry, Chris, meant Christopher ; not Christian.

I had not thought of the fact that it can take time to do that, can't pass just anywhere on the trail. Now to wait for Aliy and Chris to get on their way.

I also think that early numbers the trail could be in better shape than those with the later draws. not all dragged up by mushers on brakes... I think Allen is in a perfect spot. our other 2 teams will get some Real time passing experience which can be good for later races.. Its all good Cause we are Racing!<br />Padee FairbanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12697475567563009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-88019346801530068212017-01-14T10:14:40.261-09:002017-01-14T10:14:40.261-09:00Ah, the luck of the draw....looks like Lady Luck w...Ah, the luck of the draw....looks like Lady Luck was shining on Allen when he made his draw....Chris and Aliy, not so much darn it! Well, practice passing makes perfect...right? I'd be curious to know what the best finish is with the highest bib number for this race. It does appear to be quite a factor! <br /><br />Listening to the race now....Allen is on his way!

Competitive runners never run with the pack. <br /><br />Also, why not split the differential between more checkpoints? Seems like 15 minutes at 4 check points would be less of an advantage than an entire hour of extra rest. <br /><br />No easy answers. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-68263722507598415582017-01-14T10:03:46.900-09:002017-01-14T10:03:46.900-09:00Perhaps divide up the 'give-back' time ove...Perhaps divide up the 'give-back' time over several checkpoints.
