ANCHORAGE (KTUU) - The leading three mushers have left the Shaktoolik checkpoint and are headed to Koyuk early Monday morning.
According to the Iditarod's official check in time, Nicolas Petit, Bib 46, left at 1 a.m. Mar. 12. Behind him were mushers Mitch Seavey and Joar Leifseth Ulsom, who left Shaktoolik at 3:43 a.m. and 4:48 a.m., respectively.
According to the Iditarod's GPS tracking system, Seavey and Petit are tied almost exactly for first place.
Two mushers checked in to Shaktoolik just as Seavey and Ulsom were leaving. According to the Iditarod official times, Ray Redington Jr. checked in at 4:30 this morning, and Pete Kaiser checked in one minute later, at 4:31 a.m.
Behind these five, the mushing pack has definitely thinned compared to previous days, with many mushers only grouped up near one or two others, with the pack evenly spread out between most checkpoints.
