Coast Crunch Numbers

In anticipation of the top mushers reaching the coast, it may  be interesting to look at travel times of some of CVIB's racers of particular interest from Unalakleet to Nome. It is anyone's guess as to who is going to get to see the crowd at Unalakleet first. but once s/he does arrive, this may provide a glimpse if s/he has the ability to hold off the contenders or if a challenger can kick it in! Below are the Iditarod race times for the past 3 years from Unalakleet to Nome for John Baker, Dallas Seavey, Mitch Seavey, Jeff King, Ramey Smyth, Aily Zirkle, Aaron Burmeister, Dee Dee Jonrowe, and Pete Kaiser.

Interesting numbers. I'll have to check the times departing Unalakleet. Any team leaving within 7 hours of the leader has a shot at the victory.
