Just home in time to check the race and go to bed. Trying to find out why Rohn is down to 9 dogs. I assume they're sick like everyone else's, but I wonder if he's got 3 to spare if they're sick.

Lance's video clip on the Insider about miscalculating his rest outside of Nulato was interesting. He really sounds like he's lost his confidence.

I just read on Lance's site that he's also struggling with sore feet (leftover issues from frostbite he got on the Yukon Quest). That can't be fun. :|

And Rohn down to 9 dogs? :| I hope he can make it to Nome.
