Reoccurring tendinitis in his dogs I believe
**Just watched video, he said they caught a virus right when they got to Norway & they have been flat the whole race despite his efforts to give them an easy start and long rests. They just aren't 100% a lot of forearm straining-tendinitis-doesn't think it would have affected them this way or as much if they were 100% healthy.

Too bad, sorry dogs are in trouble, glad Dallas stopped them. Big disappointment to go so far and need to scratch.

Not a typical year for the Seaveys. Even Mitch has had his troubles on the home field.

Thanks for the vid, Elsie. It's a shame to have traveled so far and come up short. I'm not a huge Dallas fan, but I am totally smitten with the big brown dog enjoying his attention. Wonder who he is. Also notice dried poop in the fur "under his tail". It must be a nasty bug they're dealing with. Is it a homegrown AK bug, or did they pick it up en route to the race, or is it a bug "local" to the venue? Regardless, it brought Dallas's race to a halt. Hope everyone recovers nicely and completely.

The cabin prize goes to the musher who has the best combined result for two last years. As Petter Karlsson have not left Karasjok yet, Birgitte Næss will probably win the cabin this year.
