A Mind of Mush: 400-Mile Run
http://amindofmush.blogspot.com/2011/04/400-mile-run-in-park.html
A Mind of Mush. Friday, April 15, 2011. Ah yes, Spring is in the air. Or if plowed down to gravel, the exact opposite happens with the dog team grinding to a halt on the abrasive rock. Either way, not ideal. Especially when we needed a team of dogs to run 400 miles for Dr. Mike Davis’s treadmill study. So… Plan C? Getting off the road was a challenge as well because who in their right mind would trade a fast, frictionless trail for a couple feet of powder? Regardless of plowed roads, it was a trip to rem...

A Mind of Mush: March 2011
http://amindofmush.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
A Mind of Mush. Monday, March 21, 2011. March Madness With Real Athletes. 8221; Luckily, there are the GPS trackers. From Unalakleet, Bridgett and I flew back to Nome. This time, however, the pilot flew closer to the shoreline so Bridgett could point out the trail route. With zero trees and a few small hills, I can’t imagine traveling by dog team during one of their coastal blizzards. Incredible. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). This winter I'll be racing the 2012 Iditarod, so keep an eye out!

A Mind of Mush. Sunday, July 18, 2010. Douglas Island Camp Out and Hike (summary soon to come). Friday, July 16, 2010. Sunday, July 11, 2010. Mountain Sledding and Ramez. Thursday, July 1, 2010. A Couple Memorable Moments. On my days off, I’ve found a rambunctious soccer crowd at the Silverbow Restaurant with whom to enjoy the World Cup. Unfortunately, the United States is out, but I’ve still loved following it nonetheless! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. SP Kennel Dog Log.

A Mind of Mush: The Sheep Mountain 150
http://amindofmush.blogspot.com/2010/12/sheep-mountain-150.html
A Mind of Mush. Sunday, December 26, 2010. The Sheep Mountain 150. Even as an “observer” I thoroughly enjoyed the Sheep Mountain 150. I had the chance to watch 40 dog teams in action and compare the checkpoint routines of some of the top distance mushers. Combine that with the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding mountains, and the Sheep Mountain 150 is one of the best. I put together a short video of the race:. December 27, 2010 at 5:17 AM.

A Mind of Mush: November 2010
http://amindofmush.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
A Mind of Mush. Friday, November 26, 2010. Postponed running dogs to watch the game. WAR EAGLE! Thursday, November 25, 2010. In the previous post, I mentioned the treadmill work our SP Kennel dogs have been practicing. To give everyone a better idea of what exactly the dogs are up to, we made this video:. Wednesday, November 24, 2010. I don’t know if you’ve been following the weather up here in Alaska, but we are currently experiencing a record-setting amount of freezing rain. Is that not also called ice?

A Mind of Mush: Handler Concept Revisited
http://amindofmush.blogspot.com/2011/01/handler-concept-revisited.html
A Mind of Mush. Friday, January 14, 2011. I know I already discussed a bit about being a handler in my previous post, but I wrote a little something for the SPK Dog Log and figured I might as well post it here too. 2011 Copper Basin: Handler’s Perspective. So what can we do? After reading the responsibilities of a handler, you may wonder who in their right mind would sign up for that job? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A Mind of Mush: Yukon Quest in a Large Nutshell
http://amindofmush.blogspot.com/2011/02/yukon-quest-in-large-nutshell.html
A Mind of Mush. Tuesday, February 15, 2011. Yukon Quest in a Large Nutshell. I really apologize, but blogging took a back seat once the racing season began. I’ve done a poor job of keeping everyone updated, but I’ll try to pack all the exhilaration of the past month into one blog post. Allen had sections of trail without a checkpoint for over 200 miles! The trail markers had lead right through the worst of the puddles. How would we prepare the dogs? How would we prepare ourselves? Should we buy waders?
