All racers are now in Trout Rock Lodge in the warmth enjoying some Caribou Stew and a beer. A great sunny day today but with a cold start and a cruel wind, -26 at the start line at 9am and take a few off that with the wind chill. Shortest day today at 24km (16mile).
The trail was hard underfoot and quite fast, I stayed with Jen and Denise for an hour or so who are fighting it out for the 1st place (and the Diamond) in the ladies foot race. Greg was off to a usual fast start with Andy chasing, both Canadian and in 1st and second position in the mens foot race.
I past the ladies at the half way point but got caught by Denice close to the finish as I took off my snow shoes.
A great day and real luxury to be staying under a roof tonight and having food cooked for us!
Final day tomorrow is about 24 miles back to Matrix Villiage and the finish line. I'll add detailed reports for the previous days and photos soon.
Wow what a race!

Eating artic reindeer stew will mean that you should be superfast on day six. You have already trained with all that drinking so no problem. Good luck xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
