Hello DeeDee,
I'm one of your improbable fans - or maybe not.
I live Porto, Portugal, western most European country and I've never been to Alaska...
...and yet I've been following each race of yours since 2000, when I first learned about the Iditarod. It all started with an hobby, flight simulation. That lead to Alaska, Alaska to the Iditarod and all the sled dog racing world, and the Iditarod to you
A long story and I won't bore you with it - will just say that your whole history of life and in the Iditarod is inspiring in so many ways, and I want to thank you for that.
But every year the excitment starts to build up around this time of the year and then, when March comes, like all the other fans I'm on top of the results 24 hours a day and doing my calculations, too
So I just would like to wish you a Wonderful Race this year, another wonderful Race! like those many you did already, that all goes well for you - namely on the Happy River Steps and on the hard run to Unalakleet - and that this may be Your Year!. I have a great feeling about it!
Good luck, DeeDee!!!
Joao
