Race Day 3 – Iditarod
Five teams arrive at Rohn
1 Paul Gebhardt (15)
2 Sebastian Schnuelle (34)
3 Rick Swenson (8)
4 Aaron Burmeister (56)
5 Hugh Neff (55)
Melissa Owens (30) is doing very well in her second Iditarod. The 19-year-old from Nome is currently running in 6th place. Last year she made it back to Nome just in time for school.
Karin Hendrickson (29) is the leading rookie musher, back in 39th place. The hard part is scheduling rest. There will be a lot of different groups taking the lead as people tend to cluster based on similar rest patterns.
Note that I am counting only the days of the actual race, and don’t include the pre-race parade in the count. Also note that I change days based on Central Daylight Savings Time, not Alaska time.
