John on the Yukon Quest 1,100 mile sled dog race!I have been given the opportunity once more to be the "Color Commentator" for Crazy Dog Kennels! It's great fun even if the time difference means a few glitches in relaying race updates.
John is has moved from 28th to 19th (unofficially). Zoya, who's running the YQ300, has yet to be updated. The YQ favors the "Big Race" so the 300 hasn't garnered much in the way of regular reporting. All I know is that she's on the trail. Thanks guys... that's a wonderful information system you've got going there!
What doesn't help much is the lack of signal for the cell phone. I can't even reach the race handler for info. Sucks that. Still... it's fun to follow the progress, limited as it may be.
The weather here is still, "painful" for the lack of a better term. What hurts is the extreme humidity. A person doesn't normally associate humidity with winter, but when it's at 60 & 70%, my old broken bones put up one hell of a protest!
And to think I used to snicker at my Grandpa when he'd say, "It's gonna rain! My knees are just killing me!"
I'm not laughing anymore that's for sure!
More later!
