The Apple Doesn't Fall Farm From the Tree has several pieces on mushers in the great race that are new to me and very interesting! She has a cousin in the race so she really knows what is happening! She also tells about a woman musher from upstate NY who is in the race as well. Jeff King has been my long time favorite, but I guess I will be rooting for some other folks as well.
As far as I can see leadership in the race is fluctuating faster than I can keep up with it. A lot of earlier leaders are in McGrath. Looks like right now Mitch Seavey is in the lead with Hugh Neff and Zack Steer next in line.
My head is spinning from the lead changes! Once they start taking their 24 hr layover it should be easier to see who is really out front. Have you checked out Molly Yazwinski?
ReplyDeleteDown here, you would not even know the race was happening.
ReplyDeleteI never realized it was a big deal or that it had fans who followed it until I got my Northview education!
I hope your favorite wins!
Apple, I hadn't checked her out and thanks for pointing me that way. Fascinating! I am so amazed by the folks who run the race...such interesting individuals!
ReplyDeleteFC, it isn't big news up here either really, but it has its devoted fans. And thanks!
