Unalakleet, here we come! Unalakleet Checkpoint #1

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!

Sigrid may have decided to rest at the cabin instead of Unk. She may also have decided to atempt a brave run direct to Shaktoolik without resting in Unk.

Good morning John. Tell me, do you sleep at all these days? Are you taking coffee intravenously? :D You and your team are sure doing one heck of a job!

Hmmm. I know Mitch has done some aggressive moves these past days, and done well too. But isn't growing fangs a little too aggressive??

Sigrid staying at Old Woman probably had more to do with the people that she knew that were up there, I know cause that group stayed with me overnight. [i took out the emotional purpose of that group].

I'm kinda worried about Lance's feet. Is there any danger of long-term damage? Are there "people doctors" along the trail who check out things like this?


I asked him about it, he will have to live with it till the end of the race. If you see him slouched over in any pics or videos, he said it is because he leans on the rails to relieve his feet. What pain the man has gone through.
