The Yukon Quest 2008 is over
Lance Mackey won the Yukon Quest the 4th time in row.
While I didn’t reach my target – to run the Yukon Quest – but it has still been worthwhile. In Sabs opinion, I couldn’t find a plausible explanation why I have scratched in Mile 101, it was a gut feeling that I couldn’t make it and when I now hear the trail reports (jumbled ice, overflows, lack of trail markers) and see how many dogs had to be dropped, then I must say that it was probably a good decision.
Nevertheless, I run 1250 miles (2000 km) with the dogs, 700 miles (1120 km) in races – GinGin 200, Knik 200, Copper Basin 300. All these races, I finished with all the dogs and I learned a lot about dog care from Sab and the vets.
From now on there will be no further race updates frommy side, because the next years the holidays are reserved for my wife and the childrens, but I will continue to annoy Sab to write his race updates.
