    Hi, love your site, can never get enough info on the race as it’s being run .. but for those of us who don’t get the podcast, could you write about Jeff Holt’s loss and the scratched mushers so we can know what happened? Thanks ever so! Keep up the great work, believe me it’s appreciated.

    Hey Josh, a friend of mine in Seattle let me know about your blog. Glad to find you – Cabelas isn’t doing their thing like they did in years past.

    My question is how is Nancy Yoshida, who got hung up on the Dalzell Gorge. Did she have to scratch?

    Wondering in Virginia!

    Lance Mackey overstayed his 24-hour rest period by 4 minutes. History tells us one second can be the difference between winning and losing. 4 minutes could be huge!

    Thank You so much for talking about Aaron Peck. He has a huge fan base in Ontario, Alberta and British columbia and we have been haivng a hard time finding pictures or anything about him. I have been updating his Fan group every day on Facebook and searched over 300 pictures so far to find just a few of him at the start. I would love it if someone would do an interview with him so all of us here cheering him on could listen. Love your site and you guys really give alot of insight into what’s happening I am also an iditarod insider and have the GPS tracker I also try to read all the article run in the Anchorage daily news. We love Iditarod in Canada

    Two things to respond to. Nancy had to scratch. There is an interview with her on one of the blogs following the race. Several mushers overstayed their 24 hour rest. It seems to me that Mother Nature is dictating how the race sets up this year. There are reports of deep snow and soft trail. The trail breakers on snowmobiles have had to go over the trail a couple times already. There is no telling how it will set up until we get reports from Iditarod. Its a long haul to there. It seems to me that the most patient will be rewarded this year.

    Fabulous – it’s like sitting down and chatting with you. And thanks for the Statler and Waldorf moment.
