Reza made it over the Atigun Pass

Reza messaged us 5 hours ago:

“I’m taking a lunch break at Galbreath Lake, and taking advantage of the cell phone reception. Atigun pass was amazing. So beautiful and the highlight of this race for me.
I was happy to get the Coldfoot yesterday because my lighter wasn’t working and I had to eat my dehydrated meals without heated water. At Coldfoot, I was able to buy a lighter and I’m now able to eat warm meals again. I’m also getting used to the idea of camping roadside in order to expedite my set up and downs.
Hoping to make it to dead horse tomorrow evening.”

Bernarda finished in Deadhorse, Prodhoe Bay

Bernarda finished this morning 26th of August 8:29 am at the end of the Dalton Highway in Deadhorse. She completed the 1056 miles (1700km) long course in 8 days, 2 hours and 29 minutes. This was Bernarda’s second attempt on the Alaska-Divide. Last year she had to take help and warm up in a car between Atigun Pass and Deadhorse. This year she started the race with big respect. Better equiped as last year, Bernarda managed this year even worse weather conditions.

Congratulations, Bernarda! Well done!

Bernarda had the luck to join the best weather from Coldfoot on with sunny sky. But cold below freezing point, till -5 degrees celsius (23 Fahrenheit).
