Technicality it's morning, the time is after midnight, but this is a 'see you in the morning'. Daylight kind of morning. Sweet dreams of running puppy feet to you all.

Well, it's not morning in my time zone yet, but I'll say a good morning to all those in time zones where it is morning. :D :D

And because I don't know where else to put it, I'll share a great article by Zack Steer on how to follow the race: http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/m ... w.facebook

Love it when the mushers become armchair mushers.

morning, and it is morning here in the cold and sunny UK
frost this morning a little snow yesterday but wouldnt stay.

looks like perfect trail conditions for everyone with some fast times already, but as they say the night is young, and in the first two days of thr race you cant go slow enough, so if they are holding back, with those times?, the trail must relly be holding up!

yipeee, its iditarod time!

im off for a shower, then to work but working outside so can check my iphone for updates.

Will try and check in during the day.

Good morning all! I'm up after a solid 6 hours sleep. That may be the most I'll get for the next two weeks! The first musher is through Skewntna, my pencil is sharpened, the tracker is working, the coffee is on and I'm ready to follow this race. Gonna be a great day!
