Regarding the move to etsu: said that he was trying to stay in bburg either on staff or in the admin and they pry and whit were helping him but it didn't work out. Considered leaving coaching to stay in bburg but then had an opportunity at etsu come up and decided to go for it. Said he is excited to be in fcs where relationships matter more than nil.

Sam Martin is more than 15 miles behind Jesse

Red lantern position is held by rookie Adam Lindemuth, resting in Elim with 12 dogs, 852 miles in/123 to Nome

Some screen shots of Paige coming in and at the finish line. Brief talk and she said the dogs were fantastic and eating everything. The team around her (human team, that is) did a lot of the work when she was recovering, so she could just focus on herself. Noted that dog mushing teaches you a lot about adversity and mental health challenges, so the illness was just "another blip in the roadmap" playing things down.

Noted that she was in-tune withe dogs and made sure to rein it in if she was pushing them too hard.

Said her favorite spot on the trail was along the coast. Her run times had her seeing a lot of sunrises or sunsets - one of those was posted earlier on the thread crossing the sea ice.
