We drew number 55. I wanted to go out late so it works out good. The banquet was really short this year. All over by 8pm. Mushers weren't allowed to talk on stage, only to say their number. The first banquet I've been at where at the end everyone stayed to hang out and chat.

Have a great race Hugh and thanks for the 'banquet report'! We were all wishing it had been streamed live, but if the mushers didn't speak I guess we really didn't miss anything - other than the sounds of people eating!
Thanks for joining us so close to the race. We'll 'see' you when you get back!

Hugh, it was good to hear from you and I'm so glad you and the dogs made it to Nome.
And thanks to wonderful, sweet Tamra for hanging with us while we were all worrying over you and your team.

Thanks, Tamara for your input.
