My wife's cousin is Mitch Seavey and his son Dallas so been following them for a number of years now. We actually were up in Alaska a few years ago and stayed at Mitch's dad's house, Dan Seavey..who is my wife's uncle who lives in Seward. They were nice enough to gives us the tour of Alaska...well as much  as you can see in a week anyway! Stopped by his son Mitch and daughter in law Janine's place for coffee. NICE HOUSE and huge dog yard. I think he had like 80 some dogs. Dan and his wife Shirley were actually in Mn last summer where we have a lake lot/camper so they came and visited us while he was in the state Doctoring. Dan has run the Iditarod a number of times as well. The dynamics and strategy and overall stamina  to complete this race are amazing.- - - Updated - - -[ATTACH]11628[/ATTACH] Of the leaders listed, only Neff, Redington, Mackey, Buser and Strathe have taken their 8 hour mandatory break. Sounds like Marrs and Dallas Seavey are taking their 24 hr break in Ruby. Update again. I see that Mitch just reached Galena checkpoint. Did the 50 miles from Ruby to Galena in 5hours 33 mn.. averaged 9 MPH! will be interesting to see if he takes an 8 or 24 there or continues on</blockquote>
