Iditarod 2013 – Day 12

Iditarod 2013 MapJust over half of the teams still in the race have finished at Nome.

Cindy Abbott (60) has scratched at Kaltag. She pulled a muscle [probably slinging hay bales or food bags, and didn’t feel she could take care of her puppies. Update: Cindy’s problem might have been related to an earlier injury to her leg in the Burn.

Speaking of puppies, Luan Ramos Marques (47) and Mikhail Telpin (63) still have have not had to drop a dog. Mikhail only uses 12 dogs, as he did on the Quest, but Luan is caring for 16.

The Mushers in bold are former winners of the Iditarod, while italics indicates Yukon Quest winners. The numbers in parentheses are their Bib numbers. The small “R” indicates a total rookie, while the small “Q” indicates an Iditarod rookie who has completed a Yukon Quest.

These are the official standings. That means they are official, not that they are correct. Things jump around a lot as people decide to update the standings. This problem is especially bad in the back of the pack, as no one bothers to update those standings when the lead is changing.

This post will be updated during the day, and the map changed on all posts to reflect the current situation.
