Our first stop was Iditarod, the halfway point on the trail. Got to visit with Martin for a short time. He was a bit trail weary and had been resting the dogs more than he intended. A musher's worst nightmare is to have their team run out of energy. He seemed befudled by what was going on ahead of him. Mushers and dogs cycle through highs and lows along the trail and this stop was a bit of a low for him.
Martin's travel times are looking good. This just isn't going to be his year but he's making his way along. The Quest appears not to have been a good idea so I hardly think we'll be back to Canada next year. I know Martin is babying his dogs along.

Great to see his smiling face no matter what races he runs! Congrats on getting your dogs healthy and happy all the way to Nome in the face of so many challenges Martin! Just goes to show this race never gets any easier even for a wily competitor like Martin!
Good luck on the Kobuk this year Martin!
