Ruby No I

This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

It'll be interesting to see Iten and Seavey on the river, they have Backen on their tail. Did Backen happen to drop any key dogs.........mushers follow other mushers when their dogs are playing headgames or in heat, or they have lost a key leader. Other than Mackey/Hobo, I have not heard anything about any of the frontrunners losing key dogs. Seems Backen should be pursuing King and leaving Iten/Seavey. I think that Iten did the right thing by pulling up the hook and doing his 8 hr in Kaltag. It will give him some options on the coast (assuming everyone rests 4/5 hrs in Kaltag, while he rests 8). He better take it in Kaltag rather than Galena.

Also Baker and Swenson look like will work their tandem on the Yukon, which lessens the stress on their leaders, where they leapfrog each other and give their dogs a break on leading, similar to what Seavey and Burmeister did last year between Idit and Shag if I remember right.

It will be an interesting night and am. Race on

And of course there's the dog in heat on Lance's team. Wonder if that puts a step or two in the dogs following :lol: ;) :lol:
