Front runners make it into Finger Lake.
Most all racers made it into Skwentna - the first checkpoint. The snow was soft and punchy making it an easy run. The first 200 miles of the race are spent jockying for position and a sorting out process with the more experiences drivers moving to the front and the less experiences in the back. Dee Jonrowe moved from 24th position to 3rd. For some racers the victory is winning and for others it is just getting to Nome.
