Mileage:
Ophir: 352
Cripple: 425
Ruby: 495
Michelle's been going since 3:45 this morning, Paige only left 10 minutes behind her. Awk. They've both been travelling for 70 miles and are still 50 miles from Cripple. Since they didn't break up the McGrath > Cripple distance into two legs, does that mean They are aiming for three longer legs - skip Cripple, and 24 in Ruby?
And write as I was typing that, they both stopped together.
Brent (who rested 5 hours in Ophir) is 5 miles from them, after his 5 hours in Ophir. Brent was smart - even though he blew through Nik, he stopped on the trail (which was reportedly a slog) not long after there and rested, and let all the others go through ahead of him. So he has slightly longer miles on him than Lance, but more rest by a couple of hours. I think he's averaging 70 mile runs each leg.
Behind Brent by three miles is Lance - not sure what he's up to - it makes my head hurt to try and guess. He rested 3:50 in McGrath and 3:16 in Ophir, which means he can go all the way to Cripple in one go.
Mitch (on the same schedule as Paige and Michelle, but with 30 mins less rest in McGrath) has broken his run up and is resting just past Ophir - which makes me think he's aiming for Cripple.
Kelly M took 4:22 rest in McGrath (even less than Mitch) and is resting in the same location as him.
