• He didnt just smash open a lead. He gradually opened it over a week.
    Hes probebrly still going as hard as before. However hes fatiguing so his speed is lower thus his initial advantage (speed) has been reduced.

    Kristof doesnt aim to open a lead early on, hes just faster and better disciplined so happens to open a lead.

  • His lead has gone up again ... to 468 miles (while Keith is resting, although Abdullah now seems to be resting, too).

    He may be fatiguing, but probably not as much as the others. :)

    He seemed to go very slowly up to the Cave-in-Rock ferry for a while--did that have anything to do with ferry timings?

  • They used to run during the day from 6-9 or thereabouts but there was talk of them shutting down last year (but I think they ended up getting funding) It's possible they're on a reduced schedule but where did he stop/slow?
