Comments on: Race Day 7 – Iditarod https://whynow.dumka.us/2009/03/14/race-day-7-iditarod/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Sat, 14 Mar 2009 22:42:15 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2009/03/14/race-day-7-iditarod/comment-page-1/#comment-43528 Sat, 14 Mar 2009 22:42:15 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=8136#comment-43528 When it’s -20 it takes about an hour to dry a pair of jeans outside. Alaska is the home of “freeze drying” with single digit humidity in the winter.

Sebastian acts like he want to win a Quest/I-Rod double, but the 8-hour will get him if Lance doesn’t mess up again.

Lance still has 16 dogs, so he is going to be hell to catch. At this point it’s his race to lose.

Not getting enough sleep seems to be part of every major story line in the last legs of this race – last year it was to Jeff King’s embarrassment. This year it’s Lance, poor guy.

I can’t help but root for Lance – the man has a endearing balance of audacity and humility. Overcoming cancer and then hitting the trails as a winner over and over- pretty amazing.

Thanks much for the details on the snow. I hadn’t thought about it evaporating that way, but now I see it makes sense that it would. Seeing some of the mushers with their eyelashes frozen shut instills appreciation for watching from my computer in a nice warm room. 🙂 Although, I do have dreams of some day being in Nome to watch the racers arrive. But until then, warm is good.

On the two feet of snow, I’m curious to see how that will be affecting the front runners now. Could easily be another change in lead with all that. As usual, it is getting interesting!
