Huslia is the halfway point. While the lead can still change hands any number of times, Mitch Seavey is determined to be a five-time champion. It's a very exclusive club.

Only the halfway point? Good heavens, this is a long race! I do not think I have really paid attention before.

The race takes about 8 1/2 days, all told, for the swiftest teams. The last person to finish may be at 11 or 12 days.
