Iditarod on Discovery 2008 - Ep 2

October 22nd, 2008 by Josh Rogers

Just like I mentioned last week, its so fun to be watching this race again on the Discovery Channel.  I’m impressed with the small details that they are able to portray in just an hour long program each week.  It was fun to see some of the “sled-cam” shots of mushers in the middle of nowhere, and great to hear some of the stories that don’t always make it back into the newspaper the next day.  This episode covered some of the most treacherous terrain of the entire race, when looking at a map they didn’t cover much ground but a lot of exciting things happened while mushers were out on the trail.

This week we’ve got more “re-post” coverage of the 2008 Iditarod, allowing you to follow along reading our coverage from the period of the race that was shown in tonight’s second episode on the Discovery Channel.

    Josh,

    Thanks for the repeated reminders. I think the Discovery Channel effort is really turning out well so far.

    Looking forward to seeing you this year. Are you going to be up in the area again?

    We have lots going on with BSSD site and IditaProject this year. Drop me a line sometime!
