How many of you following the Ididarod Dog Sled race ? Is there any race that requires more 'strategy'..
 
Yes I actually do watch it. I personally know some of the mushers. I have had quite the conversations over a drink with Lance Mackey. I know Hans Gatt, Hugh Neff, & Michele Philips. Yes it takes a lot of strategy to win such a race. The Yukon Quest is a MUCH harder (shorter but harder)race as it crosses over three mountain passes & the Iditarod only goes over one mountain pass. The Iditarod gets a lot more publicity as so much depended on getting the life saving serum to Nome to save countless lives. I personally have been to the before & after banquets of the Quest as well as seen the start & finish of the Quest. Gerald
