We need this one soon! I hope for the trio in front to have a nice, smooth and safe trip in to Nome. There are several races in the fifth to twenty at least...Aliy and Jessie.. Who will be first? Jessie versus Matt for ROTY? Just to mention some examples :D

Saw this on lorenholmes‏ @lorenholmes twitter:
“I’m sorry I can’t take you across the finish line. Maybe next time.” - Joar Leifseth Ulsom to his dog Kusko, who he is dropping in White Mountain, 77 miles from Nome.
