Iditarod 2016 – Day 2

This race has more checkpoints than I-5 [SoCal humor] and a lot of the action is going to take place at night because it has been in the 40s so far and that’s hot for the puppies.

Jan Steves (25) is the first musher to scratch. He left the race at Skwenta. Martin Koenig (86) joined Jan at Skwenta.

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.
