Holmes will get to Kaltag for his 8-hour rest, and Seavey might be taking his 8 in Eagle Island. We expect Hall to rest before Kaltag. Drobny might be doing a longer run into Kaltag. Who will be in prime position heading for the coast?

Jessie has had less rest since his 24 than Paige; will we see an impact tonight? The middle of the pack is finishing their 24s and getting ready to be on the trail. The back of the pack has come off their rest at Galena and is running to Nulato. They will come together very soon, too.
