Warren arrived late last night/early this morning. While there weren't huge numbers of people to welcome him in, we were probably one of the most excited group of people, you can hear us all cheering him on in the insiders short video of his arrival. Thanks to Marilyn, Kay, Diana and friends for your support! The run in was a long one for him. He had run a very long run from Shaktoolik to White Mountain and it took abit out of the dogs. Even after the 8 hour rest at White Mountain they were moving slower than he would have liked. I don't think that same long run from Shaktoolik to White Mountain will be in the schedule again for next year. Warren pedaled and pushed the entire route so he was really wiped out when he arrived and is feeling the effects of the race in his muscles today. The dogs looked good coming in. A few have lost  some weight as is to be expected but all are sound, a few minor feet issues which I am already working on. By first reports from Warren, Cash, Guiness and Dobie were some of the superstars. Little Goblin too though he was dropped in Ophir with a sore wrist was a great asset and as a 2 year old we are excited to watch his career. He came into Nome yesterday morning so he has been enjoying some major TLC time. He is one of my favorites.
All for now as I just heard the siren - which they seem to be sounding today again- very confusing and I know that it is sounding for our friend Scott Smith so I am going to go walk down to the burled arch to welcome him. Warren is snoring loudly so I am going to leave him here to sleep.
More later.
