the best Iditarod ever
http://www.adn.com/2693/story/342356.html
I know I said that last year. But really, seeing Dee Dee and Paul in the early leads, friends Jim Lanier and Robert Buntzen having such good runs.. And the trash-talking but gentlemanly stuff between Lance Mackey and the great Jeff King... and Lance's second win! The second time this crazy man and Larry, Hansom, etc won both the Yukon Quest and the Iditarod back to back,,, what a thrill!
The teams run at night because days in the Arctic this time of year are too warm for the dogs. During the Idtarod I often dream that I am on the trail. I see my dogs ahead of me in the light of my headlamp.
Last night I dreamed of Lance running through the night. I was amused when four different people told me of similar dreams.
Imagine all of us dreaming of Lance as he runs...
Good dogs!
