Hi all,

This will be my last blog untill I hit Nome, Kate will continue with her race notes over the next 1 1/2 weeks.
Due to race rules I will not be able to upate from the trail, but continue to check in here and follow on the Iditarod site.
I ran 12 dogs today , not running my main 8 dogs - all leaders  and saving them" for the real race, altough the trail today was only 11 miles, there's no need to tempt fate in injuring a dog..
I know who will be on the team, They are a vetern team, that has seen the finish , some multiple times.
Things look really good, I am happy with the team and am confident in their abilites. I was interviewed by Alaska daily news, and John Little today, So I presume their will be  some stories in the next couple of days, they were both interested in the dogs and the fact that they were from Montana, AKA  from Dougs kennel. Never know what the media will say..

Anyway, Hope you all enjoy the race.

Warren
