Comments on: Yukon Quest 2017 – Start https://whynow.dumka.us/2017/02/04/yukon-quest-2017-start/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Sat, 04 Feb 2017 20:39:11 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2017/02/04/yukon-quest-2017-start/comment-page-1/#comment-84187 Sat, 04 Feb 2017 20:39:11 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=38463#comment-84187 I can’t believe that Yuka is making another odd-year attempt. She has finished even year runs, but the last time she tried the odd year she spent over a day trying to get over Eagle Summit and had to scratch at Mile 101. This is the tough route because of that double climb [Eagle/Rosebud] about 100 miles from Fairbanks. In even years it occurs at the start with everybody fresh, not after more that a week on the trail.

Jessie has to love it to keep doing it. She may be running the Quest because of lousy training conditions elsewhere. Anchorage has snow, but the Alaskan Range didn’t get it.

But I have to say, I really enjoy following Jessie Royer. She’s signed up for the Iditarod as well, so she’s got a full plate going this winter. These people are tough. I mean, one race is not enough?
