Jan Steves, racing in the Iditarod, is sending in reports via phone, email, and any other way she can communicate.  Here's the latest transcription.

I don't know what day it is.  They just run together, running around the clock.  I had a fabulous run from  Unalakleet to Shaktoolik.  I took a six hour rest and then left Shaktoolik for Koyuk.  There were high winds at about 25 mph or more.  The dogs did great.  It was a slow go and so very cold.   The run seemed to take forever.  Seeing the lights of Koyuk for hours was torturous.  I just wanted to get there.  I left Shaktoolik at 1:30 and arrived at 10:30 pm.  Teams were lost on this leg earlier.  We were so glad that we made it with no detours.  To be honest, it was rather scary for me anticipating the run.  However, once I got out there, I was fine.  Bob's dogs wouldn't lead so I lead 90 percent of the run.  There was no trail and it was tough going for the dogs.  I had to 'gee haw' them from trail marker to trail marker.  I have no idea what the wind chill was but I was very cold.

At the check point, the people were so nice.  We were welcomed to Koyuk and well fed.

Good night.  We are taking an 8 hour break and then will head out.
