Jodi Bailey and her husband Dan Kaduce run Dew Claw Kennel and have considerable Iditarod and Yukon Quest experience. Jodi is heading to Nome for the third time. Dan went to Nome in 2010 as a rookie and claimed Rookie of the Year Honors. Jodi has the distinction of being the first person to ever finish Iditarod and Quest rookie races in the same year. Jodi is blessed to run with the most photographed dogs in the 2013 Iditarod. As she was preparing to leave Unalakleet at sunrise this morning, she said, “If I had a dollar for every picture somebody has taken of Pepsi and Topaz my next race would be completely funded.” Counting the photos I’ve taken of the two photogenic 18-month old racers, I’d owe her about $400.
Born to Run,
Sanka
