Your Iditarod update of the hour.
The race isn't over, but it might as well be.
Robert Sorlie is first into White Mountain. He got there about 30 minutes ago.
He'll rest for eight hours and then saddle up.
It's 55 miles to the next checkpoint in Safety, and then another 22 miles to Nome.
If, say, Brooks were to get to White Mountain, say, now, he'd be a half an hour behind.
It wouldn't be impossible to catch Sorlie, but it would be difficult. Especially for as fast as Sorlie's team is.
