Jeff King and Mitch Seavey checked into Solomon one minute apart, with elapsed times of 57:16 and 57:17 respectively; Solomon is thirty-three miles from the finish line. This race could be as little as three hours from its conclusion. But it is hard to tell what's going on, the web reporting on it is so fragmentary. The Leader Board is ill-kept, and were it not for the efforts of Joshua Rogers of Iditablog.com, we would know very little indeed about the details of this race. The Alaska newspapers are doing a dismal job, posting online articles that are invariably stale and perfunctory.
