Dallas Seavey: “ How can you beat the kid ? “ Hugh says he is going to be happy to just hang with Dallas for 700 miles. “ The coast is what kicks my butt each year “. He feels like he has to figure out the coast more than anything.
Hugh talks about holding his dogs’ energy back for the right moment. This is his 28th Thousand Miler since starting in 2000. I am not the scientific type. I am romantic at heart. The bond he creates, he feels is his strong part. Feeding his dogs, taking care of them, no handlers. His main leader is George. His vision is that his dogs think that he is everything to them.
Hugh signed up late, to hold back. He feels you can do a few monster runs, but not many of them. For Hugh the race begins in Unalakleet. Learn to shut up and let the dogs do the talking is his new Motto!
