Couple of things. Jessie and Travis have never won the Iditarod. Dallas has won it 5 times...now 6. That played a part for sure as strategy plays a huge part. Also, if you are behind, as Dallas was at one point, a couple ways to "catch up" if possible...is either to cut sleep or increase speed...
Here we go folks! It will probably be one of these mushers. Dallas has like 125 miles to go..he has about a 17 mile lead on Holmes and Hall. All mushers HAVE to stop in White Mountain for a mandatory 8 hr rest. If Dallas Seavey continues with his lead and wins, he will be the ONLY 6 time winner...
Update. All mushers have now taken their mandatory 24 hr rest and 8 hr rest so the racing begins. It looks like it is Travis Beals race to lose as he is on mile 608 ( of mile 975), while current 2nd place musher of Life below Zero fame Jessie Holmes is on mile 588. Lead mushers are now entering...

Rule 51 in part states: Time penalties will be imposed when determined by race officials a rule infraction has occurred and a competitive advantage has been gained.
HOW IS IT A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE GAINED where you have to stop and gut the moose?? This needs to be looked at in the...
Update. Nic Petit still hasnt taken is mandatory 24 hr..he most likely will at next checkpoint Ruby. Dallas Seavey has a few hrs yet to wait on his 24..plus the 2 hr penalty. This is where the race really begins. All mushers still have to take a mandatory 8 hr rest at the check point of THEIR...
@KDM id love your opinion on this please!! One of Dallas's dogs was attacked by a moose, severely injured, Dallas defended his dog team and killed the animal....gutted it per the rules and since one of his dogs were injured, continued on to the next checkpoint to report it....now...the damn...

2024 race is now 3 days in. Going to be interesting again this year! 5 time champ Dallas Seavey already has had some excitement as he had to dispatch a moose less than 24 hrs into the race! Defending his dog team. I am gonna have to dig into what kind of sidearm mushers pack to drop a moose...
