Jesse is currently 8th. I think there is a possibility that he could improve his position by 1-2 places. Improving three places (to 5th) is not likely IMO since Kaiser left about 3 hours before Jesse. Here is Jesse’s time leaving White Mountain (after a mandatory 8 hour layover so the dogs should be rested) & the speed at which the mushers covered the distance from Elim to White Mountain - Jesse’s dogs were running strong!

Place in race - musher name - time left White Mountain - team speed into White Mountain from Elim:

8 - Jesse Holmes - 5:41:00 - 6.93 mph
7 - Travis Beals - 5:33:00 - 6.15 mph
6 - Richie Diehl - 4:49:00 - 6.60 mph
5 - Peter Kaiser - 2:38:00 = 5.97 mph
