Iditarod starts on Saturday, March 1st, in Anchorage. For now the restart, is scheduled for Willow, on Sunday. The bib draw is on Thursday prior to the Start. The link to Jon Little's Cabela's coverage is our favorite site for following online: http://iditarodblogs.com/news/
Word is that The Discovery Channel will be filming, following a number of specific teams, from Start to Finish of Iditarod. As I understand, there is nothing live , but the production will be aired in October or November. http://dsc.discovery.com/. Per some of the participants, they will be doing some "neat things".
Jessica Klejka, age 17, of Bethel, AK , won the Junior Iditarod by TWO seconds, with Cain Carter, stepson of Lance Mackey, coming in 2nd with Lance's core group of dogs set to run Iditarod. The Junior Iditarod was 140 miles this year. http://iditarodblogs.com/news/2008/02/24/jr-iditarod-won-by-two-seconds/
Of course, our loyalty lies with Aliy Zirkle and Allen Moore, and also, this year with Sue Morgan and Trent Herbst and Karen Ramstead. Another fun team to watch will be Molly Yazwinksi (I may have wrong spelling), running dogs from Susan Butcher/David Monson kennel. We are also participating in the Fantasy Iditarod initiated on Sled Dog Central. We did get 3 sets of teams set up.
