Paige pulled Into Shageluk in second place 1 hour behind Jesse Holmes at 3:35 EST. Jesse blew right through with only 8 min at the checkpoint. Waiting to see if Paige goes right through too.
Why? Why the hell do we have a watch a broadcast from a camera sitting on top of the press box? This is the least effective way to watch a game I can think of. This is worse than the crap camera view from right field.

Interviews with Ryan Redington and Mitch Seavey in Grayling. Mitch said he has not been in contact with people to get coaching or really worrying about the other teams. Sounds like he is not trying to go all out. Dallas Seavey met up with him at one of the checkpoints and told him he needed to get more sleep and that was the extent of the coaching. Did not that the dogs were doing well. Some foot issues that could get worse if left untended, but he is addressing them. No specifics how. Commented how rough the trail was, but the team handling it.
Ryan also commented on the poor trail, but said it was better on the way down to Grayling1 than it was into Eagle Island. Has decided to take his 8-hour in Grayling as it is a place he likes in general and the trail was rough on the team. Snowing and cooler now, which he thinks will make the trail better after the rest. He commented how good Mitch Seavey's team looked.
Hokies trail game three 6-5 in 6th inning
