“Such is the curse of long-distance mushing. A guy is lucky to even cross the finish line before the little voice inside begins rehashing those poorly chosen camps, untimely naps, mistakes made packing – all the numerous ways you, the coach, failed those fine friends up front.
The voice is relentless and seductive, whispering things you might try differently -next time.”
― Honest Dogs: A Story of Triumph and Regret from the World's Toughest Sled Dog Race
The voice is relentless and seductive, whispering things you might try differently -next time.”
― Honest Dogs: A Story of Triumph and Regret from the World's Toughest Sled Dog Race
“Sled dogs love new trails. The drive to explore unknown ground, to huge distances with pack mates, is genetic. In the wild, it is necessary for food gathering and survival. All canine senses come into play in this vital game of life. But, by far and away, the most important is the dog's astounding sense of smell, a million or more times that of a human, we are told.
A canine’s innate desire to travel, to sniff out new ground, and thig inborn compulsion to run with its kind, provides a key answer to the often-asked question: “What makes Iditarod racing dogs run a hundred or more miles per day?” In truth, nothing or no one really makes them run. They are, in fact, by their very nature, compelled to run. They were born that way. Selective breeding for those wondrous, wild instincts—in the case of the Seavey kennels, some twenty sled dog generations to date—simply brings to the top the very best of what hay been there for centuries unnumbered.”
