Copper Basin 300 Update




Brent's dogs were itching to go out of Chistochina so Brent took off last night at 8:20. He arrived in Paxon 7+ hours later.

Mushers are into Paxon. Brent is in the mix of the top 6 with Lance Mackey, Sigrid Ekran, and others. Brent says the dogs are running perfect, things are going great. There was one small incident between Walter and Rocky, Walter bit Rocky and cut his neck a little bit. Rocky will be fine but Brent is going to drop him. No worries, there is plenty of power left in the team. Brent will probably take his mandatory 8 hour layover in Paxon and be leaving around noon.

The variation in musher's times due to the staggered start will be corrected as they take their 8 hour layover. If you factor in the stagger time Brent is in third place right now 93 minutes behind Lance and 34 minutes behind Sigrid. It looks as though the top mushers will all be taking their 8 in Paxon so after this its first to the finish wins!
