Kaz is keeping the info flowing, thanks, Kaz!! at: http://spkenneldoglog.blogspot.com/
with the news that Lance was into Paxson, Sigrid on the way and Allen /Aliy on the way.
Hooray for trail handlers Bridgett, Ken and Amy for any scoop they are providing and all the freezing work they are doing!
From afar (way far) it looks to me like Allen/Aliy will rest early for the mandatories , already ahead of Lance's rests, by two hours. Joe Runyan( or was it Jon Little, think Joe) pointed out in MUSHING that in Sorlie's Iditarod success was a philosophy of early resting on the trail, keeping dogs calm/slower in order to pour it on, later on. Not an expert on Aliy's /Allen's strategies, but I know they keep their dogs calm/happy/rested and fast.
As Kaz says on the SP blog, Aliy/Allen plan their runs and rests very, very carefully. It is fun to watch/guess even way out here.
