Yukon Quest 2015 – Day 12

Damon Tedford had a very successful first attempt at the Quest, coming in fourth early this morning and Hugh’s 7 puppies brought him in a couple of hours later.

Rob Cooke’s Siberians with the Red Lantern are in Central.

Mike Ellis and his Siberians complete the top 10 finishers. He always has the most beautiful team in a race.

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.

The Mushers in bold are former winners of the Yukon Quest, the numbers in parentheses are their Bib numbers, and the small “R” indicates a rookie.

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