YQ: Circle Update

Allen and the Black Team pulled into Circle at 3.17pm this afternoon.

We've just had news from Meghan and Mark who are in Circle. They said the team looked great coming in; very strong. Check out the Yukon Quest Facebook page for some FANTASTIC pictures of the team coming into the checkpoint.

You will see in those pictures he had 13 dogs on the line with Chica and Quito in lead. He was carrying Scout in the bag - he became dehydrated and was not feeling 100% so Allen carried him for the last 30 miles. He has already spoken with the vets and completed the paperwork to officially drop him from the team.

As we saw from Lydia and Wedgy in the YQ300, Scout should bounce back fairly quickly once he is rehydrated and had some sleep. Meghan said poor Scout was so confused about why he was leaving the team as she led him away but he is now cozy in the truck.


Allen completes his checkpoint arrival routine

The rest of the dogs all "ate like monsters" according to Meghan. So did Allen!


Allen tucks into his dinner - is it just me or does that look like a steak to you too?

Right now Allen is down for a nap. At this stage we don't know if he is taking his mandatory six hour stop here, we'll wait and see.
