Golovin 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!

Lance's 11 are having a hard time climbing (3 mph) -- we'll see whether Jeff's 16 can do it a little faster running in Lance's track.

Maybe some of those Breaker boys that moved to Hawaii, you know the Waves side of the family, are up to mischief in Alaska

Lance didn't allow himself to rest long at Elim. This might be a result of taking the time factorin to consideration. The sun will soon start to shine. Lance will have advantage over Jeff since he were off 1 hour ahead of him and therefore gets slightly more time in slightly lower temperatures.

Anyone noticing if Jeff is closing the gap?

nope if anything lance picked up some distance. and it means that lance will be out whatever the time difference from him getting to WM and jeff getting in, jeff wont be able to leave with him or ahead of him... wil lhave to wait and if they are even paced at that point..lance could squeek the win! hope so! be amazing to see him win the double, double! would set him up for a one off triple crown!
if jeff does win i hope he does so with 16 dogs, that would be equally as historic and amazing! he HAS to win the vet award for sure this year if not i'll be very upset! go lance go jeff
