Iditarod Pre Race Info

Well, it sounds as though the trail got a little more snow in the past week or so, and is all groomed up and ready!  That's awesome news for sure!  As for the mushers, we got some really good teams and a few wild cards for this years Iditarod....the Norwegians are coming, the Norwegians are coming!!  Sorlie is back, and brought along some friends!  It is said he has combined his Kennel with another of the best kennels in Norway and basically has a super talented Team!  Sorlie is one to watch for sure!  But there has been some combining going on in Alaska too.....I just heard 3 dogs from Sass's Team are now running on Neff's Team!  So part of Brent's Team will be running the race with Hugh.....he is there in spirit!

I of course want Aliy Zirkle to win....SPK is said to be the best in Alaska right now and Aliy is definitely due for a win!!  The Seaveys will be in the hunt along with King and Buser.....it's going to be some fierce competition!  I kind of hope Buser makes the move to Rohn again and this time have him place in the top 5...thus giving everyone some pause to his bold strategy.  Time will tell and there is plenty of speculation out there!  So pull up your Armchair, get comfy....do a weeks worth of chores as to not distract from your passion.....it's Sled Dog racing at its best....and may the best Team Win!!
