Mackey moves into the lead
Back-to-back Iditarod winner (2007-2008) Lance Mackey has moved into the lead. More here. Sweet.
“I’m standing here on the ice in front of the Iditarod checkpoint. Lance Mackey is in as the current standings will show on the web site. No other team has arrived as of this time. Lance in fact, arrived here at such a quick pace that he caught the volunteers and staff still completing the finishing touches to the checkpoint.
Lance had the incredibly fast time on 12 hours 34 minutes total from Takotna to here. Compare that now to the blazingly fast run Jeff King had of 13 hours 12 minutes in 2007. I can’t do the fact checking from this remote location but it’s possible Lance just broke the course record for fastest time ever from Takotna to Iditarod.”
