Aliy came whipping through the Paxson checkpoint just a few minutes ago, and I caught all 90 seconds of it! She and her team looked great. I think I’ve got just enough time to whip up a Paxson video and upload it before I leave… Stay tuned!
We got this question in the comments: “What happens between when a dog gets injured and when the dog gets dropped at a checkpoint? Does the musher continue running the dog (I see enough active, happy-looking three-legged dogs to get that it’s possible)? Or does the dog ride? Is sled … Read More
Allen just came through Paxson so fast I didn’t even see him. As I’ve overheard it described here in the lodge: “Allen just came roaring through here like a freight train.” Bob says he looks great, sounds great and is definitely getting after it. He will now tackle the big … Read More
CB300: Meier’s Lake Video By now you all probably know the checkpoint procedure by heart: The team arrives, checks in and parks, the dogs get a snack and straw, the musher puts on water to heat, booties come off and jackets go on, a hot meal is served, etc., etc. … Read More

It’s just about midnight, so here’s a final update for the day: Exactly on plan and schedule, Allen and Aliy took a two hour rest in Wolverine then ran to Sourdough where they are now. I just had a pretty garbled phone call with Bob who I’m pretty sure said … Read More
All three teams arrived at the Wolverine Checkpoint within about an hour of each other and were there together for about an hour before Allen and Aliy took off. I was happy to make the most of it and have edited together a sampling of footage from all three teams … Read More
