Just a topic for some general chit-chat.
As usual, Finnmarksløpet is running now, the winner will get to Alta (finish line) during tihs day. Looked at their standing site, I must say I really like their graphical showing of when mushers are finished with their mandatory rest.
FL have mandatory rest, a bit like Iditarod/White Mountain, but there's a rule about dividing the rest between two checkpoints. They must have 2 hours rest at Karasjon (I think for vet check) and in all 10 hours divided between Levajok and Karasjok (Levajok is the cp prior to Karasjok). Karasjok is quite similar to WM.. racewise. So, they have, in the checkpoint stat graphic showing how much of the rest the mushers have done and also at which time they can leave. No thinking left for the coach-musher
