Conditions are life threatening and trails are almost impassable
Our good friend Todd Palin?
If weather has stopped the races, why not call a time out then restart from same positions once possible.
*they are all making their way there to Unalakleet as safely and quickly as possible, to organize a restart, to get them back to racing, and on the clock
*No one is racing right now. No matter where they are the race restarts when the Race officials say go not when racers say go. And the restart is the same as Nome times The race is ON HOLD
I hear Palin’s hairdresser is going to be on a new Bravo show. Maybe we can have ‘live threads’ for it like we did with Bristol’s DWTSs and the Sarah-Kate show.
Maybe McKenna was having problems and this was a way for he and his partner to keep the lead by convincing the officials to yellow-flag the race.
If his comment about being wet was about himself or his partner, they would be in danger from hypothermia.
Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

“Extraordinary conditions are wreaking havoc on the race. What should normally be a 90 minute drive from Nome to Golovin, the Pro Teams have been slogging for four hours. Snow depth in the Golovin to Elim areas is easily more than seven feet – add that to Arctic coastal winds and storm surge, the creeks and rivers are filling with overflow.”
