Avoiding the dangerous trail just before McCabe meant shortening the distance by 38 miles. So, we can\u2019t compare Jovica\u2019s time to previous winners. However, it\u2019s fair to say that Jovica would have been a strong contender to set a new record time. His speed was very impressive and he clearly learned some lessons from his previous two attempts during which he could not reach the finish line.<\/p>\n<p>After a good night\u2019s sleep and a much deserved shower, Jovica got a ride back to Whitehorse where has a few days left to relax before he flies home.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1055 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/jovicaspajic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/viber_image_2024-02-27_12-59-10-875.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jovicaspajic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/viber_image_2024-02-27_12-59-10-875.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/jovicaspajic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/viber_image_2024-02-27_12-59-10-875-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jovicaspajic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/viber_image_2024-02-27_12-59-10-875-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jovicaspajic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/viber_image_2024-02-27_12-59-10-875-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jovicaspajic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/viber_image_2024-02-27_12-59-10-875-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/jovicaspajic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/viber_image_2024-02-27_12-59-10-875-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/jovicaspajic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/viber_image_2024-02-27_12-59-10-875-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The next 300 mile athletes to finish were Daniel Benhammou and John Nakel. Both US and both MYAU veterans. They finished together but due to the fact that Daniel had arrived in Carmacks before John, in the official ranking, Daniel ranks 2nd and John 3rd. Although I am pretty sure they do not care. They are not so much here for the \u201cranking\u201d and more for the adventure and to enjoy Yukon\u2019s nature and the atmosphere created by the crew \u2013 both out on the trails and at the checkpoints. Like Jovica, they got a ride back to Whitehorse and I am almost certain we will see them again.<\/p>\n<div id=\"fws_65df207a887f7\" class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row\" data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\">\n<div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n<div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone \" data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>Alan Purdue is now the last athletes we are waiting for.
