Hello,

Figured we needed a scratch thread for this race, too.

Still no info on why, but Hugh Neff has scratched in the AAS.

Moderator: removed outdated link since update below has more info.

Regards,

Johncn

Very interesting update from Josh:

Right before the podcast we got the word that Hugh Neff has withdrawn from the race at the Haven checkpoint earlier this morning, although the information didn’t break until around 11-11:30. I spoke with Dr. Phil, the race director and he said that Hugh withdrew not because he was forced to, not because of an injury to his team or any of his dogs, but simply because of how tough this trail is, and how much more overwhelming it was than he was expecting. I’ll be following up and trying to get more information as the afternoon goes on.
