This is it! This is the moment we’ve been waiting for and I’m headed out the door in just a few mintutes to see the Re Start of the 2009 Iditarod.
Yesterday was the Start. How much time it took for each musher to get from the starting to the banner to the end of yesterday’s 11 mile run did not count as part of their race time.
Today is the Restart— and some people call that the REAL START of the race because the clock starts now for the mushers. I spent some time yesterday talking to my fur friends. They are excited and ready to get on the trail!
Boys and Girls, I hope that you follow the race closely. Read the articles from the K-9 Journalist team and the articles at FOR TEACHERS. Watch the front page of the website where you will be able to track 4 mushers free on the front page of the site. Enjoy the race!
Lots of Tail Wags,
Zuma
