Summary updated with Intro video!
apskip:
some may question the wisdom of Jill and Thomas' decision to use their ExpressPass on the Kiruna part of the race. I cannot fault them. They were last by an unknown amount, but they could have guessed at least 15 minutes after the dog sled camp and they did not have any idea what DETOURs others chose or how much time might be required. As things turned out for Connor/Jonathan taking so much time doing Beds, they should have been OK without using the ExpressPass, but they could not have known this at the time they had to decide. They took the safe route to stay in the competition. Their goal of being a leading team was not met, but they were in the middle of the pack.
