Anyone geared up to follow this year's race? I had the time of my life volunteering at the 2020 Iditarod. The level of outdoor winter saavy required by the mushers is pretty inspiring, especially since they're generally sleep deprived whilst having to caring for their teams of elite canine athletes in all kinds of weather/conditions/terrain. Last year's race was especially challenging in a lot of respects, but especially given the lack of the typical on-trail accommodations, forcing the teams to camp in temps dipping below -50F. Anyway, Nebraska is a long ways from Alaska as the crow flies, but they're pretty darn close in my heart...and phonetically

I got the privilege of shooting some footage and photos during the 2020 race, including this shot of that year's champion Thomas Wearner with his lead dogs K2 and Bark right under the burled arch.
